August 10, 1976. This photograph was taken one day after Hurricane Belle crossed the area. The west beach is flush with the end of the west jetty because of beach fill. Compared to 1962, the lobes and bars of the flood shoal have grown and moved further north into Shinnecock Bay. The ebb shoal has also grown. Four black lines crossing the west beach appear to be drawn with a fine pen on the photographic paper print. (Photograph by AeroGraphic Corp.) |
