A reader, Nicole Bogan, asked us to alert the public about sand that is rapidly building up in the inlet which can create a serious safety issue to both boaters and those on the sandbar. The area was dredged and within a week the build up of sand was at least as bad, if not worse, than before they dredged. The Army Corp of Engineers is aware of the situation but a long term plan has not yet been discussed.

If you are boating use extreme caution going in and out of the mouth of the inlet and if you are fishing or on the sand bar be cognizant of waves that could potentially wash you off the sandbar.
