Winter Beach

We had really strong surf last week. One of the things that happens during those storms is that sand washes away from the beaches. It always comes back, but there are times in the winter when our beach does not look the same. Here's a good example. You can see the stairs to the left (19th street) that we always use. Normally, the are you would be looking at would be flat, smooth sand. The exception is the biggest rock to the right. Usually, there is about 1-2 feet of it above the surface of the sand. We are guessing about four feet of sand have washed away right now. It changes daily, and who knows what it will look like tomorrow, but by Summer, don't worry - the sand will be back!
