Southsea's beach expansion work is set to begin on the 1st October, adding around one million tonnes of shingle to the beach.
The extra shingle will form part of the new sea defences in the area.
The Southsea Coastal Scheme's led by Portsmouth City Council and delivered by Coastal Partners and VSBW, making it the largest local authority-led flood defence scheme in the UK.
Amy Bandrés Arbués, Project Delivery Manager at the Southsea Coastal Scheme, said: "This new beach will provide primary flood defence and can be easily maintained.
"By working through winter and opening the beach in stages, we aim to reduce inconvenience to users.
"We're excited to fully reopen the beach before moving on to replace the existing sea defences."
The shingle's set to go between the Pyramids and the Coffee Cup café in Eastney.
