Delray Beach Beach Restoration Project Moves Forward to Protect the Coastline
The Delray Beach beach restoration project is moving forward, bringing a major investment in coastal protection and long-term environmental resilience. This multi-million-dollar effort will help preserve Delray Beach’s shoreline for both residents and visitors to enjoy.
Why the Delray Beach Beach Restoration Matters
The project, led by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and awarded to Great Lakes Dredge & Dock, will add new sand to strengthen the shoreline. As a result, Delray Beach will benefit from improved storm protection, restored beaches, and a healthier coastal environment.
Funding for the Delray Beach beach restoration project comes from a variety of sources, including the federal government, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Palm Beach County, and the City of Delray Beach. This shared investment shows a strong commitment to protecting the coastline.
Project Timeline and Key Milestones
The Fiscal 2025 Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act is also supporting this coastal initiative. A groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for mid-December, and the project is expected to be completed in early 2026. Although the work will take time, the long-term benefits will be worth the wait.
Community Benefits You Can Expect
Once finished, the Delray Beach beach restoration project will:
Rebuild eroded beach areas
Restore recreational space for residents and visitors
Strengthen natural coastal defenses
Support tourism and local businesses
Promote long-term sustainability
Moreover, a stronger shoreline helps protect the community from rising sea levels and severe weather. It also contributes to a more enjoyable beach experience for everyone.
A Unified Effort to Protect Delray Beach
This Delray Beach beach restoration project reflects the city’s proactive approach to coastal management. It also highlights the strong collaboration between federal, state, county, and city partners who are working together to create a more resilient coastline for the future.
Working with Barry was an absolute pleasure! To say he went above and beyond would be an understatement. This incredible person did everything for my family and I during a stressful moving period. I cannot recommend this agent enough. Reach out to Barry and buy or sell your home with confidence, you are in the best hands possible!

Thank you, Joe. I really appreciate the kudos. We did what it took to get the job done! What an amazing house and I was grateful for the assignment!
I have never had anyone work so hard for me and help me find a place to live that I could afford. Barry is the most caring and kind human (realtor) that I have had the pleasure to know
Barry is a consummate professional. Of all agents I’ve worked with, he, by far, goes above and beyond to present properties at their best to help get the best price the market will bear. I had the pleasure of working with Barry during a recent sale in Boca Raton and he did everything possible to make sure we didn’t overlook any detail that would make the property show great(even helped fix the lawn). I’d highly recommend Barry to anyone looking to sell a property at maximum value.

Hi Todd, I was grateful for the assignment & thank you so much for the kudos. Thank you for giving me the opportunity! Now let's play more golf!
I worked with Barry to secure a seasonal rental in DelRay Beach for 7 months. He was always eager to find new places, look them over for us and address issues for us. Once we moved in there were a few issues and Barry was quick to offer solutions and help. Barrys is highly recommended!

Thank you, Hugh! I meet amazing people in my line of business! We will be friends for life!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Barry Frette while showing a rental property to one of my customers, and I can confidently say the experience was outstanding! Even though Barry didn’t have to be there, he went out of his way to show up and personally conduct a thorough walk-through. His commitment to going the extra mile really stood out. Barry’s professionalism was top-tier, but what truly made the experience remarkable was his charismatic and engaging personality. He brought an energy and enthusiasm that made the process not only seamless but enjoyable. Barry turned what could have been a standard showing into an exceptional, memorable experience. If you’re looking for a realtor who is passionate, reliable, and truly invested in creating the best experience for his customers, look no further than Barry Frette!

Thank you James! You are a sharp guy, please get involved with leadership at the board.
Barry did a great job on our closing in Delray Beach. The commercial property had a few offers that tanked so when we started our purchasing process he worked twice as hard to insure everything was smooth.
