Seashore is changing rapidly...

Just had the surprise of a lifetime. I wanted to walk down the beach today October 26, 2022. I took that area of the beach for granted thinking it will always be there for me whenever I need. Where did it go?

The beach is gone!

It happened gradually over the past four years. Sands on the left side had begun to vanish after I sat there the previous year enjoying the sunshine with my wife and family. The souvenir picture from left was taken on July 3rd, 2019.

In a three-year period, the beach is completely gone! No more solitary 1-mile walks on the sand… In August 2021, I took another picture of the same area. It was obvious something was happening; the sea was gradually taking over.

I thought something was going on and continued to quietly document what's happening. Pieces of the beach were chopped off and huge rocks were distributed along the coast as to protect the hotel's backyard fence. In reality, the battle was over before it began.

A friend of mine who lives near the coast reports another phenomenon. A Seaweed invasion is taking place further south. It appears that, up and down the Eastern seashore beach areas are not only getting washed into the sea but seaweeds are a threat to those formerly pristine areas. Sea levels are rising more quickly than anticipated…

The picture from the left was taken yesterday, October 26, 2022. There's nothing left of the sand and beach I enjoyed is completely wiped out. The degradation is so severe, I don't see how it could be reversed.
