Beach erosion on Jekyll Island's St. Andrews Sound

On Thursday, February 26, Jaime and I rode our bikes on Jekyll Island again. This time, we took a long walk on the beach on the St. Andrews Sound side. I was amazed at the amount of erosion that has occurred on the south side of the island….probably a result of last summer’s Hurricane Dora.

Many trees were uprooted and now rest in the sand (at low tide) and are submerged in the ocean at high tide. Here are some pictures of uprooted – and soon-to-be-uprooted – trees.
