The Ocean Atlantic Casino resort plans to have a new 110-foot-wide beach open for Memorial Day weekend.
casino that takes its name from the sea doesn't want to find out, and so it's spending up to $700,000 of its own money to rebuild a badly eroded beach in front of it.
Bill Callahan, the casino's general manager, said Ocean can't wait for the next government-funded beach replenishment project, which could take another year or two. Veteran Atlantic City casino executives said they can not recall a casino paying to widen its own beach using its own money. The work should be completed by next May 19. Crews will then smooth the sand, which was matched for color and grain size to the existing beach sand.
