For the longest time, I wondered what this was for, then I read in the local paper that it was for Wheelchair access to the beach.
While certainly admirable, it would seem that they could only go to the end of this ramp and just sit there. Right now, with the berms that are erected every winter, they wouldn't be able to even see the ocean. I frequently walk along the Strand and I have yet to see any wheelchair person using this. Hopefully some of them do. Maybe best in the Spring after the berms are removed.
Last Saturday, we had a Tsunami warning along the coast. Undeterred, my friends and I met for our
usual Saturday morning breakfast at a restaurant just yards from the ocean.
