Pat.....as always, you are correct. I didn't mean to imply that the beach would never come back.....it will.....just that it was the most eroded of anytime I have visited over the past 24 years. Interestingly, a lady in the water said she was here in February and there were no rocks as you entered the water. So time and mother nature will take care of the ebb and flow of the sands as they appear and then disappear again.
