This project has survived design conditions in both Hurricanes Ivan and Katrina. GMC’s coastal engineer team (formerly South Coast Engineers) designed this project's coastal engineering aspects, including the overall concept and the structure and sand configuration. The shoreline has adopted a permanent, equilibrium shape in response to the wave climate and the structure configuration, which is very similar to the shoreline shape predicted during design. This is another example of how GMC's projects have worked well for decades. Additionally, GMC designed the Grand Hotel facility attached to the pocket beach.

The pocket beach technique is something the team are experts at. This technique bounds a small beach with headlands either naturally forming or created with coastal structures. The curve shape helps control wave energy and sediment movement. This was proved necessary in the case of the Grand Hotel during Hurricane Katrina. The hurricane destroyed the facilities, but left the beach in tack thanks to these headlands.
