BEACH the ULTIMATE SANDBOX

Walking down towards Shinnecock Inlet from Ponquogue Beach...

The beach starts to narrow down the closer you get to the Inlet rock jetties. The ocean has removed a great amount of sand and also washed away the protecting dunes just west of the jetty.

Army corp of engineering is getting ready to replenish the beach sand there by dredging sand from the bay. There are restaurants and a deep sea ocean fishing fleet where the damage has accrued.

It takes years and even centuries to build up the dunes protecting the barrier beaches and but one storm to make swiss cheese of them.

What's left of a 20 high sand dune...

You can see layers in the dune like tree rings ...

    It amazes me the damage that water and wind can do to the land. Glad to hear they will try to build it up again. ♥

          Oh wow what a great beach - so worth protecting. Some trees and vetiver grass planted along the dunes would help too against storm damage/ erosion like this.
