are beaches in your area getting smaller?

[pimpmaster9000]

there was a storm yesterday and it really hit the beaches hard and anybody who had beachfront property that was too close to the sea probably got fucked...some beaches seem smaller today...the storm eroded away the steep angle of the sand and they are now more flat and seem to have lost 10-20 feet in some places...palms and magrows ripped out of their roots and in the water...

are beaches in your area getting smaller? do they grow back somehow or do they stay like that? this is the saddest shit ever...

Of course it rebuilds fruit empanada.

Where are you?

We have beach management & conservation here as well as sand deposits & seawalls made of rock we create at strategic places out in the ocean so the tide doesn't impact our docks & beaches.

Hb state park gets wiped out pretty good a couple times a year. Strong surf carves out a 4-6 foot verticle ledge in the sand. Further down where you are there's the jetties to help, after the river.

Yeah they add sand to HB beaches 2-3 times a year with big bulldozers. I lived there for 3 years good times

I wonder sometimes why the jetties don't start until Newport Beach, any ideas? The state and city pay a lot of money to constantly groom the beaches with all that heavy machinery.

currently in las galeras in the dominican republic...tall palm trees like 10 of them in the water just in a 100m stretch of beach...the water is visibly closer in some areas...in others theres no destruction whatsoever...

this is how the beach looks here after a storm hits head on. it takes about a month or so for all the sand to fill back in

The rip tide in HB is super strong and goes almost 2 miles up the coast, I'm guessing that has something to do with no jetties. The waves at HB are so good they have multiple surf contests there every year, I'm guessing jetties would impact those epic waves too 🏄

Yes that is terrible...the beaches must survive...
