Figure 10. Profile line location map for Jones Beach, N.Y. 



beach is orientated N73 degrees E and has an average beach foreshore gradient 

 of 1:10. Net longshore transport is to the west. Most of the beach is 

 backed by a duneline which reaches 8 m in height. Though a popular 

 recreational beach, only a few shore stabilization structures exist (Morton, 

 Bohlen, and Aubrey 1986). 



39. For the five storms studied, Jones Beach experienced the lowest 

 median erosion of the seven localities (-2.9 m^/m). Although the median loss 

 was not large, Jones Beach was highly variable experiencing large ranges of 

 erosion and accretion. Significant sediment losses generally occurred low on 

 the berm between the 0.5- to 2.0-m contours.
