Happy Birthday Reeves Beach

These drifted over from Connecticut - it baffles me why otherwise decent people release these killers (see https://www.thedodo.com/in-the-wild/balloons-hurt-animals-risks).

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.
