Ocean Isle, NC sandbags
I just got back from Sunset Beach NC to find the newspapers full of a discussion on shoring up inlets to preserve Ocean Isle properties that are currently sandbagged. One thing that is missing from all the accounts I have seen are pictures of the current situation. So I have posted above a picture I took of the west end of Ocean Isle from Sunset Beach across Tubbs Inlet(this link has a picture of the same shore when there was still some dune left). As you can see the sandbags are right next to the last house on the beach and the inlet is "dynamic." There has been significant erosion on the west end of Ocean Isle where residents have built much closer to the shore than in neighboring Sunset Beach.
