Title photo was taken yesterday. Body photo taken a month or so ago. The stretch of shells seen here that was three feet deep and went on for dozens of yards is now completely gone. Buried again by the ever changing tides.

Tide goes in, tide goes out. You cant explain that. Bill Oreilly really did have it right.

    Out of curiosity, what is so restricted about that beach? I live on a coast and have never seen such a stern warning about a beach before.

      That’s temporary only. Army Corp of Engineers is performing dredging of a navigable waterway a bit further up the way so there’s a portion of beach inaccessible to general public. It’s been going on since January. They dredge the waterway and use the dredged sand to re-nourish the beach along the side of the jetties to replace what gets scoured away due to tides/currents/etc. It’s the first time it’s been done since the jetties/channel were created like 60 years ago I think. It’s got another month or so left according to the National Parks website but I have no idea if it’s on schedule, behind, or whatever.
