Caution asked of Hilton Head swimmers as boats to collect data at high tide

Swimmers are asked to be cautious in the south beach area as boat crews will continue collecting data in preparation of a beach renourishment project.

Hydrographic survey crews will begin collecting data around high tide through July 13. The boats will be between Brown Pelican Road and Marsh Wren Road.

The renourishment project is likely to move from the heal of the island to south beach later this month. The project was recently completed in Port Royal Plantation and Mitcheville Beach.
