There’s a new small beach beside the Ocean City Inlet.
It’s a gift from Hurricane Sandy which swept up the Eastern Sea Board wreaking havoc in New Jersey and New York.
At low tide the beach stretched fifty yards and was 20-25 feet wide.
Ocean City’s engineer Terry McGean says that it is the product of a underwater river of sand migrating from north to south that’s called a littoral drift.
He expects the US Army Corp of Engineers will dredge the area.
Overtim, he he told the Salisbury Daily Times, that the beach will disappear because of erosion.
