The old timers built well back from the beaches. They knew. All they built near the beach were fish shacks or a shed to stow their gear. Those shacks and sheds were expendable. There homes were not. My house in N Truro is working on 200 years old and is one of three originals on the hill. They are maybe 700 feet back from the bluff. Of course the bluff is crowded with trophy homes and the owners are building sand retaining fences like crazy while screaming global warming. Global this, a northeaster will erode the beach, a steady southwest wind will build it. Has for centuries. Maybe you shoulda looked into this before you invested megabucks into your ugly arsed house designed by Frank Lloyd Wrong. What are you gonna do? If you have bucks folks think you're smart....well maybe...maybe not...
