  1. A winter beach usually loses a lot of sand during high wave action winter storms. The sand returns with a summer full of small wave action waves. This equilibrium can be changed with big winter storms taking out a lot of sand. It may take a few years to get it back to “normal”. This is all layered upon the fact that sea level is rising so beaches want to migrate inland.

  2. what a sobering thought of maybe not having the beach that so many of us enjoyed for years and years . Did I take G.H.B. for granted ? Guilty as charged ! What is the answer ? Hope the storms and tides cooperate the next few years. This is wicked bad. I should be more informed on this matter (regrettably i’m not) so if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
