The following photos taken on Nov. 5, 2012, show the overturned and half-buried benches and playground structures at Jacob's Beach in Guilford. Access to the bathhouse is now impaired by sand. These pictures show that a great deal of sand was moved all the way to the parking lot side of the beach, affecting all structures and terrain farthest from the water. The height of the beach near the parking lot is now significantly raised. Resulting poor drainage in the parking lot has created a sea of mud. The pictures also show damage to fixed structures such as the kayak racks and the roof over the picnic table area. A small crew of about 3 with very limited equipment (including shovels!) was attempting to deal with the mammoth task of responding to the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. It would be prudent to avoid enhancements to the beach which could have a similar fate.
