For most of the 20th century, Chesapeake Beach, Maryland, was known for its boardwalk, amusement park, and wide, sandy beaches, popular with daytrippers from Washington, DC. "The bathing beach has a frontage of three miles," boasted a tourist brochure from about 1900, "and is equal, if not superior, to any beach on the Atlantic Coast."
Today, on a cloudless spring afternoon, the resort town's sweeping view of Chesapeake Bay is no less stunning. But there's no longer any beach in Chesapeake Beach

That's interesting, I wonder how much $ was spent building the barriers and how much will be spent to restore the natural buffers that were already in place? Can they even repair the damage done?

What they need, is for someone to go there with a video camera, and take a nice video of what they say isn`t there. Then, put it on youtube for the world to see. And what would be nice, would be to show a sign in the video with the name of the beach showing in the foreground. If what you say is true, then these dirtbags need to be put in their place, and a video for the world to see, would do the job.
