The Army Corps of Engineers says the work will be conducted Mondays through Saturdays and should be finished by May 22, in time for the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
More than 1,100 munitions have been found since the beach replenishment project was completed. They were unwittingly pumped ashore along with 880,000 cubic yards of sand.
The cost of the cleanup is estimated at $17 million.
