Sand piling up in Manasquan Inlet

Linda Anne, a 38-foot sportfishing boat based in Manasquan, heads outbound from Manasquan Inlet on Thursday, Aug. 11, 2022, in Manasquan. Sand has piled up along the south jetty, which some say has created hazardous navigational conditions as well as a new beach inside the inlet.

The Army Corps of Engineers will visit the Manasquan Inlet next week to survey a large sandbar that has formed in the waterway, U.S. Rep. Chris Smith, R-4th Dist., said Wednesday.

Sands at the inlet have shifted before, but the low-tide sandbar is larger than anything seen there before, the congressman said.

"We are gravely concerned that it will pose a serious hazard to navigation," Smith said.
