Wellfleet beach erosion update


April 1st, 2011 by

There was a LOT of erosion on the ocean side beaches of Wellfleet this winter. Some, like LeCount Hollow, now have a HUGE vertical drop. Also, there’s damage to the parking lot, and a house now precariously hangs off the edge. What’s it going to be like this summer? Will some ocean beaches be closed off? If so, that might make the remaining ones more crowded. Over on the bay beaches – Mayo and Duck Harbor – I did not notice any change from last year. They still look great.

    Actually Duck Harbor is in awful shape. There is very little difference in the tidal shift (about 10% of what it was 10 years ago) and almost all rocks below the high tide boundary. It’s not nearly as enjoyable as it used to be. Thinking of renting elsewhere.
