New: “Beach Fence”

Every fall, fencing is installed on the beaches along the north and south coast of Cape Cod in an effort to control drifting sand whipped around by strong ocean and bay winds. This small section was recently added to a small section of beach that faces Nantucket Sound. I know from walking this beach many times, and seeing where the sand ends up in the Spring, the intent of this little strip of weathered pine slats is admirable, but ultimately futile. “Beach Fence” 30 x 40 o/c.
