Barrier beaches will only occur when there is enough sand for the beach to form, sea levels are rising, and there is sufficient energy from waves and wind to move the sand2. Since these beaches are made wholly of sand, they are constantly being moved by the waves and wind by which they were formed. Barrier beaches such as Monomoy promote the development of marsh and wetland habitats, by protecting the area from harsh wind and waves. Monomoy Island is an important aspect of the cape cod coast. Located at the southern tip of the outer cape, it provides a home for countless seals and other wild life.
Early the next morning, the Nell and Emma sailed to Harker’s Island to deliver engine parts for the hardware store. Since the recent spring rains made the roads impassable, they used the spritsail to get to the island that was located fifteen miles east of Beaufort by land. On the return trip, Nell dodged the sailboats and engine-powered watercraft that filled the Back Sound.

Because no one had recorded topographical details about the area that is modern-day North Carolina, the Englishmen that arrived at the coast had no idea that the area was harsher than they originally thought. In the area that the settlers inhabited in the early days of the colony, there was and still is a “flat but treacherous coastline. Here the warm waters of the powerful Gulf Stream bring mild, and occasionally stormy, weather to the low-lying coast.” The coastline provided security from the plundering Spanish explorers, but the location did not have any other benefits. The colonists were unable to farm the flat land because of its sandy soil and dangerous tides and storms left the area drenched in salty seawater.
Gender, Race, and Rank in a Revolutionary Age: The Georgia Lowcountry 1750-1820, was written by Betty Wood and surveys the different groups of women around the time of the revolutionary era.

He did this by mentioning how the shore was where he left it; not receding compared to the ocean. Once again, White thinks back to his previous visits, stating that nothing has changed.
