I’ve been reporting on the beach erosion on Dewees since I started the blog in June. The problem continues unabated. Compare the pictures of Gary McGraw’s walkway from earlier this year to those I took today. It seems that both the primary and secondary dunes have been washed away and the ocean is eating into the tertiary line of protection.
Osprey Walk continues to get shorter and shorter. See the picture below.
Jimmy Smith’s walkway keeps taking hits. The 8 foot section closest to the water has started to breakaway from the rest of the walkway. See picture.
Tree trunks continue to sprout on the beach. It appears that the eroding sand is exposing an old boneyard beach, although it’s possible that some have washed up on the shore.
