As critical as I have been of the restoration of the beach area, it is now (finally) beginning to take recognizable shape. The circle (front and center below) is in place, and the P-2 lot now has packed sand base. It is waiting for whatever fences, etc., that the team will put in place. The sand they are using for the roadways and parking seems to have some glop in it. I'm sure it's detailed somewhere, but I'm too lazy to find it. One year los federales talked about putting some kind of pine residue in the sand to augment stability.
This area is a large part of the tourism lifeblood of Chincoteague Island. It is good to see it shaping up. With the advent of Wallops Island rocket shots to the space station (next year), our tiny island community might take off, too. Let's hope so.
