Because of all the interest and talk about the beach conditions, we thought we should show you the conditions as of yesterday, the 7th of November.
After Sandy passed, the sea cleaned itself as it normally does and as pics have shown, brought in a bunch of seaweed. This first pic was taken last week just after Sandy moved on and shows a huge amount of seaweed piled in front of the Gatehouse, Mariposa and Boat Bar where there had been virtually no beach for the past year or so.
But as what will happen with the sea and the beach, what may seem like a disaster can be a blessing in disguise. The build up of seaweed allowed for sand to sift down through the mound and gather on the shore without being pushed back out to sea. This picture, taken yesterday near the same spot shows that there is now sand in front of this area - as well as all the seaweed removed.
And here is another picture taken yesterday right in front of the Lazy Dayz property that shows the sand has once again returned to this area as well.
And for a picture showing much more of the beach, here is a photo taken at Sun Beach showing that all the seaweed has been removed and how much sand has been brought back to our seven mile beach!
