Unlike Palm Beach, Southport Spit predominately sits on native reserve. The width of Palm Beach and Southport Spit from the water’s edge to fore dune was 37 meters and 40 meters (table 4). The average wave height at Palm Beach and Southport Spit was 0.6 meters. These waves transport, deposit and erode materials such as sediment and sand, dynamically changing the shape of the coastline overtime. Currumbin Creek flows water through to Palm Beach. The word Currumbin is of native origin and means…

Background Information In 1986, David H. Lucas paid $975,000 for two residential lots on the Isle of Palms in Charleston County, South Carolina barrier island, intending to build single family homes such as those on the immediately adjacent parcels. During that time, the lots weren’t subject to the State’s coastal zone building permit requirements. In 1988, the state legislature enacted the Beachfront Management Act. This act prohibited Lucas from building any permanent habitable structures in…

how barrier islands form and move, these islands’ importance, and the vulnerability of Assateague Island. First, a simple definition provided in the Merriam- Webster dictionary of a barrier island is “a long broad sandy island lying parallel to a shore that is built up by the action of waves,…

As mentioned, the case study previously mentioned, provides a transformative experience for tourists, specifically surfers. This is because the surfers already have a preconceived notion of how the surfing experience will be. There are numerous beaches around Australia, but the tourists in the case study have specifically chosen the Gold Coast as it provides surfing compeitions and tournaments and this can cause a memorable experience for the tourist. In addition to the transformative experience…

The crashing of the waves and the white sand are some of our favorite things about visiting the beach. Particularly this beach with its rich emerald colored water, extremely white sand, and the eroded rocks on the shoreline. The holes in the sand made by the sandpipers make the beach very unique. This beach is also home to the Blue Angels tactical air squadron. It’s also a place where history resides. Pensacola Beach is one of the best beaches I have ever visited. Pensacola beach has always…

St. Pete’s Beach Since the origins of humanity, people have thought of the beach as a way to relax and make memories. But in my mind, one beach stands tall above all of the others. St. Pete’s beach in St. Petersburg, Florida, is the most magnificent place that anyone could ever hope to go. Although it is not often thought of as a primary vacation spot, I believe this marvelous beach has helped to develop my identity into who I am today. The mesmerizing silvery sand; the dreamy sea its own…

This report presents a number of findings that are based on the natural landscape of The Spit, such as the geomorphic processes that have shaped The Spit and the geographical features. The Spit contains many geographical features, both natural and built. A natural geographical feature that was identified was headlands. These boulders were being constantly eroded due to abrasion waves, causing bits of rock and sand in the waves to grind down surfaces of the rock. Other natural features sighted…

The first thing your eyes jumped to was probably the stunning, jaw-dropping view of the beach I was on. I want to say I took the picture, but I obviously didn’t because- well, I’m in it. So here I am, reappearing once again in Nova Scotia, but this time at a beach by Pleasant Bay, right at the tippity top of Nova Scotia. There was no mud on this beach, unlike Fundy Bay. Instead, there was sand all over the beach. But I’m not struggling to hold sand in my arms here. In my arms, I was clutching a…

LIPLESS CRANKBAITS -- DEADLY FOR SPEED FISHING Rat-L-Traps, Cordell Hotspots, Sugar Shads, etc. Great lures for all kinds of gamefish, but highly underrated for muskies. These baits can be especially effective on spring or early fall muskies cruising overtop weed flats. Like all lures, specific situations exist where these lures really produce. Personally, I really like these kind of baits whenever muskies are average in size, but high in numbers, and are cruising overtop shallow weed cover…
