Geomorphology . Shoreline orientation 

 at Little Sable Point is N.7°E.; 

 beach is just south of large, active 

 dunes near Silver Lake. Immediately 

 adjacent are moderately active small 

 grass-covered dunes. Beach and 

 immediate nearshore composed of 

 sorted, medium sand throughout the 

 year. During the winter this was 

 the only location that did not have 

 a snow cover on the beach at any 

 time, reflecting the significance of 

 wind activity in this general area.
