We went to Maho today and parked in the Sonesta's garage and eventually ended up at Karacters. Along the way I took these pics. I didn't know that there are rocks there infront of BSV.

Thanks for the photos I tried to explain how beach looked to Carol and didn’t know how to post pix.

Last week the rise was a bit higher and we had no way onto the beach. I pushed a path with my feet and finally got down but then I couldn’t get back up. Some passerby’s from Mary’s Boon helped me back up Finally someone came later in the week and pushed the sand into a slope so we could get onto beach. I swear the rise was 2 ft high.

thanks for the pics. I surely hope the sand comes back soon.

The problem is the sand has been brought up by the tide and needs to be raked or shoveled back down to the water to make a beach again.

Nature will take care of it. Many of the beaches have large rocks/boulders under the sand or rock and coral ledges that are usually covered.

I mentioned this also a couple of weeks ago and at the time the waves were reaching the small concrete wall. I had not brought my phone with me so no pics then but as you say the drop was steeper.
