EXCELLENT post Kritter!!!! VERY informative!!

From a very non-scientific, completely observation stance - I was at the beach yesterday (at Wild Parrot) and took a short walk down to White Sands and back.

Plenty of beach. The beach at the Parrot is nice and wide as it is at Sun Beach and every place I walked (which wasn't far).

Last week I walked in the other direction (I know, I say I'm seldom at the beach but I had back to back guests in town - so "the" beach is always on the check-list)and of course encountered the no-beach at Tree House and Foote Prints. The sign was not in the middle of the water as I recall but the tide was out.
