9 May 1976 - Wide 

 beach, mildly sloping 

 dune; compare with 

 photo below. 



10 September 1974 - Steep 

 bluff face is evidence of 

 recent erosion. Beach is 

 narrow. 



Profile Line 6. The sand bluff at profile line 6 is located north of the 

 lighthouse at Little Sable Point. Though the configuration of the beach was 

 about the same in October 1973 as December 1974, it went through a cycle of 

 accretion in the fall of 1973 and erosion in the summer of 1974. The fall 

 accretion was accompanied by 2.1 meters of bluff recession. The bluff con- 

 tinued to recede during 1974 but in small amounts during March, May, July, 

 September, and October for a total recession of 3 meters. The beach was 

 predominantly sand with only infrequent gravel deposits.
