Here is a photo taken last January of Footprint's and that tree at Barry's. We will be getting an updated picture - but the last time we were there a few months ago the beach was wider at Barry's than it was in this January pic.

I think that "disturbing" photo was taken a few years ago after a storm had passed, which with the active wave action always pulls the sand out, but then puts it back as nature sees fit.
