Tuesday on Tybee

It is Groundhog Day. The rodent in Pennsylvania said there would be an early spring. Since the weather here is already like spring an afternoon walk on the beach seemed like a good idea. Come on and walk along north beach.  

As you can see in the picture above work on the beach continues. The work being done now I'd near the curve on First Avenue. They are removing derelict structures. It is concrete and steel from an old sea wall. They are on the second contractor. The first bid the job at less than a half million dollars. Once they got started they realized quickly they had seriously under estimated the job. The city paid for the work done and the second bidder lowered their bid to reflect that amount. Their bid was originally about 1.2 million. The work will be completed before May first. 

No walk on the beach is complete without a viewing of the lighthouse.

The other big job on North Beach is the new shower and restroom facilities. It will also be done in time for tourist season.

Thanks for coming along on our walk.
