VA Beach was slowly eroding away; the city spent a hell of a lot of money having sand put back to restore the beach.
When Hurricane Isabel came through last fall that new sand is all that kept the ocean off of the buildings there by the beach; if they hadn't brought that new sand in the water would've been right over the buildings and they would've been gone.
They'll pump/truck in some sand and replace the beaches, they're not going to let one of the biggest tourist attractions simply wash away (and the revenue with it).
