Figure 9. The ragged edge of the frontal dune can be seen 18 days after the Perfect Storm. Large blocks of dune vegetation are visible on the beach profile. Erosion did not reach the seawall at the sewer treatment plant . A vehicle is visible on the beach, perhaps in an effort to repair a damaged sand fence that was along the edge of the frontal dune or involved in work at the plant. The parking lot next to Moody Beach has sand in it, probably a result of washover through the pedestrian path.
