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 on the verge of becoming two completely separate islands. The island is literally about to split in two. There is but a little stretch of white sand behind a row of eroding mangrove bushes, and a bunch of dead bushes just waiting to be washed into the ocean by the next big storm. When the storm surge brings the water over that little piece of sand, the tidal movement occuring will wash what’s left of sand and plants holding the state park intact into the gulf. It’s very likely to happen this hurricane season, potentially within the next storm or two. Will it happen this weekend? We’ve got a few extra high tides coming up, a 2.8ft, 2.9ft, and 2.93ft high tides in the middle of the day (see graph). Honeymoon Island State Park is about to become Honeymoon “Island(s)” State Park due to the rapid erosion occuring.  Will the beach you once loved as a beach you could take a nice long walk along be gone forever?
