Nevers Head, Nantucket Island. This south shore is open to both storms
and longshore currents. The erosion here averages 10-15 feet per year.
But what the ocean ‘takes away’, it also deposits elsewhere
and some shorelines are accreting, that is, adding the sand lost here.
The structures on the beach are the remnants of a submarine listening
post during the War. |
