The estuary that had the two recent unfortunate drownings was Old Sandwich Creek.

I don't fish Scorton very often, but to the best of my knowledge there has been no Canal side jetty for at least 3 or 4 years. I thought there used to be one on the North side quite a few years ago. The mouth of the creek is constantly changing.
Last year the bar on the north side curved around in front of the creek opening. This sent the main flow far to the south.
This area gets pounded by winter storms. Just down the beach at Spring Hill there was a jetty that I fished off of many times. I can remember taking my son there when he was very young. He found a can of paint in the jetty rocks and got it all over himself! This jetty is now gone. The victim of a winter storm.

So perhaps the old north side Scorton jetty is either buried in sand or has fallen victim to a storm.
