 Major dilemma…to climb over or under the yellow tape to get to the beach :)   Based on the foot prints on the sand, I am not the only one ignoring the signs!

 The Stone Harbor beaches south of 112th Street had some erosion, but no damage to their dunes. South of 123rd Street (the Hobie Cat beach) was hit hard, but the point area is fine. This picture was taken at high tide from the 123rd Street beach entrance- looking north.
A beautiful day today to be outdoors…and at the shore!
12th Street beach path.
 At the shore, our exposure to traditional fall colors  is limited. 
 Enough beach for my walk 🙂
 High tide on Dune Drive! 
 For the best view of a Nor’easter- head to the inlet in Avalon. I couldn’t see over the 7th Street sea wall from my car (I think that’s the point of the sea wall)…so had to get out for a better look.
 This morning’s high tide caused flooding in the usual sections of town. Fortunately, no rain right now to make it any worse.
 First the Bad News: the coastal storm is causing some beach erosion along the Jersey Shore. Just checked out our beach- which was already in bad shape from previous storms. These pictures were taken at 5:30pm tonight - one hour before high tide.
October Summer
Tuesday I needed a fleece jacket and hat for my morning walk. On Wednesday, it was warm enough for kayaking on the bay.

 I saw a surprising number of boats out Wednesday. Three were waiting for the 96th Street bridge to open. I was fine paddling under the closed bridge!
