Jack Evans Boat Harbour is one of the Tweed’s favourite spots to relax, play and enjoy the water. This project will restore and protect the beach in front of Chris Cunningham Park, ensuring it stays safe and sandy for years to come.

Project Schedule

Planning: Mid 2025
Construction: 3 September 2025 to mid-November 2025, weather permitting

What’s involved

Refurbishment of the existing revetment wall
Construction of geofabric sandbag groynes
Sand nourishment to rebuild beach profile
Landscaping and reinstatement of the site

Why it’s happening

Erosion is wearing away the beach in front of Chris Cunningham Park. It’s caused by increased wave energy from the ageing seawall, limited natural beach recovery, windblown sand, and water run-off.
