Great pics, I need to get back to that place, it's been forever, is there anything left of the fort on the west side, the waves were doing a job on it the last time I was there.

the fort on the southwest side looks to be farther away from the beach last from the last time i was out, and appears they filled the beach back in too on the northwest side, last time i was out there was probably 2001 and the water was almost upto the forty on the NW side
