Honeymoon Renourishment: A Review From 2016
I was just going through posts to reorganize the opinion section of this site and came across this post from 2016. It’s a really great depiction of how ineffective the t-goins are. It’s an add on article for the recently written article titled, Honeymoon Island Beach Renourishment: He wants more, don’t give it to him. It was really only a year or less before all the sand placed on the beach dissapeared. T-goins suck!
From previous article:
The foreground of this image is of the beach closer to the existing T-groin. This section of beach was re-nourished with sand just this past year. As you can see there are a considerable amount of lime rocks on what is left of the beach.

Snook were stacked up on the beach today. With the clearer than usual water the fishies were happy campers, able to see and breathe. On many rides they were seen cruising around. It was a mid-ougoing tide and the fish were sitting stacked up on the small rockpiles situated in between the two jetties. They were corralled into the pockets of rock sitting on the sandy spots. Others were along the inside edge of the sand bar. Most of them were way undersize, somewhere between a foot and a foot and a half long 12-18 inches. It would have been a great day to catch a bunch of way undersize snook.

Honeymoon Island Beach Renourishment: He wants more, don’t give it to him!
The t-groins are a bad idea, and encouraging this rate of sand loss by throwing more money at it is an even worse idea. Unfortunately, the groins just can’t hold sand. The water flow around and over them washes away the sand. These things are plain and simply the worst possible solution to the erosion problem at Honeymoon Island.
Take a close look at the sea grapes and sabal palms (state tree) from before the dredge in 2014, then take a look at the pictures of what’s left of those same trees in Spring 2018. Continue reading Honeymoon Island Beach Renourishment: He wants more, don’t give it to him!
Honeymoon Island State Park is About to Become Two Islands!
Honeymoon Island has for many years had a nice long beach you could walk along just north of the furthest most parking lot. You could walk the full length of the island all the way down to the northern tip where a nice white sandy sanctuary awaits. Somewhat recently, the beach to walk along has completely disappeared. And more shocking than that, the rapidly deteriorating island is Continue reading Honeymoon Island State Park is About to Become Two Islands!
