Moving Back to Facebook!

ANNOUNCEMENT - I'M SWITCHING BACK TO FACEBOOK, WHICH HAS BECOME EASIER TO POST TO. THE LINK IS https://www.facebook.com/reevesbeachwalker

I'll probably maintain this blog, mainly as an archive for all the trash photos from the past 2 years, and my efforts to clean Reeves Beach will continue, but now mainly logged at https://www.facebook.com/reevesbeachwalker

Thanks to all my very few readers for their interest!

Reeves Beach

Reeves Beach extends west from Roanoke Point, and includes the Town maintained beach that also goes by that name. For the purposes of this blog I consider it to run all the way west from Roanoke Point to Oakleigh Avenue, a distance of about 2 miles.

Here is an extract from the wonderful book "Short Nature Walks on Long Island by Rodney and Priscilla Albright (2001; Publisher: Globe Pequot).

" The town of Riverhead maintains a beach at the end of Roanoke Avenue on Long Island Sound. Off season, there is usually no problem parking, though during summer months a permit is required.... The bluffs on the sound are extremely high, the beach at the tide line quite pebbly with some impressive glacial erratics, and, just west a half mile, strewn with towering ship hulks.... Turn left and walk a couple of hundred yards and you will be alone. For miles along here the border of high wooded bluffs obscures any houses, and there is a feeling of immense loneliness.... "

Not any more - Reeves Beach has been discovered, is for sale, and is being trashed, damaged and abused. On this blog I document some of the issues, in the hope the beach can be restored to its former glory.
