Dickenson Bay

Here's something I found on another board:

"Seasonal North swells, rolling Southward from N.Atlantic winter storms
do such coastal damage to a greater or lesser degree, annually
depending on the strength/severity of the swells being generated.

Unfortunately 'North Swell Season' happens to coincide exactly with cruise season
and much of the winter tourist season!
We can expect them anytime between October and March.
-every October to March (unless the N.Atlantic isn't doing it's thing...yeaahh right!)


By August that beach will be back, or mostly back.
The sand that was eroded is lying just offshore, probably no more than 50-100 yds. out there
and will be re-deposited, per hi tide, as Summer comes along.

It's temporary.
Come back in four or five months and see."

Let's hope so.

I hope so as well DougYWG as I'm going to Antigua Village in August.

I must admit Rachel and I don't actually go on the beach much but do like a walk along to Halcyon late afternoon.
I hope the sand comes back.

The beach goes, the beach comes back. It's always been that way, and will always be so. The only thing that interferes with the natural process is man-made structures stopping the sand from being where it wants to be.

(though that's as bad as I've seen in in a few years!)

When I went out for my morning walk I could see that the sand was returning. A lot of exposed rocks were covered again. I will keep everyone posted on what happens.

Thanks for that DL.

Maybe I'll bring some sand from Southport in my luggage to help out!!!

You will be lucky to find sand at Southport .....Oh no, it is the sea you can't find !!!

Mark, Any photos of Antigua Village? The beach was bigger than I've seen last summer so I'm especially curious to see how this erosion effected AV as I will be visiting in June/July. Thanks for any pics.

You'll have to post on here, Corinne how it is. I'm going in August.
