[michaeldean]

enjoyed myself for the holidays there, stayed at sea breeze ,manager carlton is great met chuck at the pizza place across the street and met I belve brandy at fannies nice waitress
did some sightseeing while there also happy see that woek to save the beach is going on, sounds like a plan to me, Seemed that some people were upset , however they need to realize that this has to be done to save the beach

[michaeldean]

can anyone tell me how its going with the work on the beach to save it that is?

I think they're finished. The beach is now huge.

Of course, it will only last for a few years and then they'll have to do it again.

All the beaches on the East Coast lose sand every year as the currents move it down south. Hilton Head and Tybee routinely get renouished. It takes the sand that's out in the ocean and pumps it back onto the beaches. I can remember when I was a teenager (yeah, years and years ago) that there wasn't any beach at low tide. The ocean came all the way up and waves spashed on the sidewalkes.

I can remember quite a few extremes, too. There's a seawall underneath the dunes along the parking lot south of the pier. Things didn't get bad enough to expose it this time.

There also used to be an entire neighborhood at the bend of the road on Butler where the cannon/gun things are. That was way before my time, but it washed away many, many, many years ago.

It really hasn't been that long since the last renourishment. Part of the problem is caused by the constant dredging of the shipping channel in the Savannah River. It prevents the sand that washes from Hilton Head from reaching Tybee.

As Padgett stated, our barrier islands are naturally in flux.
