Post Nor’easter beach conditions

The beaches took a pounding but the southern beaches from Fenwick too 3Rs took the brunt of the wave action.  i still have to check Cape Henlopen beaches.  The northern beaches of Delaware Seashore State Park seemed to be in better shape.  Bethany beach had a good two feet of dune missing exposing the bottom of the snow fences.  Checking out Cape Henlopen State Park in the morning.  We still have heavy winds expected into the weekend.  the water is chocolate milk and could be that way until these winds subside.  However the beaches looked rather fishable today, and will try that out tomorrow.  The pictures below in the gallery are ones taken today from Bethany Beach to Delaware Seashore State Park.   No images found.
