The beach from Philben to Gay Head changes multiple times during the season. Sometimes it is a flat firm sandy and easy walk to the point, the other times it is a bolder strewn ankle busting hike. Sometimes the point is so silted in that it is too shallow to really be productive, other times it drops off. Sometimes the water is knee deep at the base of the cliff on high tide and other times you have a big stretch of beach and bolder that remain dry at high tide.

Storms and weather patterns make these changes as far as I can tell. It may look completely different from month to month with no sign of consistency.

Agree 100%. Storm driven coastal changes, not 'seasonal'
Think storm beach/fair weather beach NOT summer/winter.
