Report Details
Much of Mile 238 is being worked on due to erosion issues, and trucks/bulldozers are coming in throughout the day during the work week. Beach access 50B is usable, as is Seagull Lane. However, no other accesses north of that point are usable at this time until approaching 50. There is considerable drop-off eroded area at access 50A, and at accesses between lots 281 and 283, between lots 299 and 301, and between lots 331 and 333. Some equipment is left in place overnight, blocking areas around 307/308 and 349. These accesses are dangerous right now. Equipment has created some temporary accesses for their use only. Some days, walking on the beach from access 50 to 50B is possible, but most days there are several areas along that stretch where waves are coming all the way in to the rip-rap, no matter what the tide level.
Conditions
Temperature: 41 F. Cloud Cover: Sunny. Wind Velocity: Calm/Light. Tide Level: 8.0 feet.
