McGraws Dock Loses Its Footing

On the morning of 5/30 we found that the sand under Gary McGraw’s beach walkway had disappeared.  A guest at Gary’s house confirmed that the sand was under the bottom step the day before.  The high tide that came with the full moon on the night of 5/29 showed once again how dynamic beaches are on barrier islands.  McGraw’s dock is roughly in the middle of the front beach and is a good barometer of the erosion and accretion on Dewees Island.
