Another nor'easter was far off the coast here. It brought us strong winds, pounding surf, and coastal erosion. I hadn't been down to the ocean since before the last storm so I headed over to Smith Point Beach to see the effects. Directly in front of the concession stand and the beach staircase the dunes are completely gone. Here off to the side there are a few dunes, but the beach has been shortened a lot. The waves were pretty strong and had a nice spray so I sat and painted this view.
This is what the erosion looks like in front of the concession pavillion. At high tide the water goes under the stairs.
