SW Michigan Beach & Shore Line Aerial Tour

August 1:

As I often do when flying, I like to take pictures. The beaches are always gathering places during the summer months and provide interesting photo opportunities. It’s also easier to see and appreciate the effects of lakeside erosion caused by rain, wind, and waves. With that said, I’ll let the pictures do the talking. 

Jean Klock Park, Benton Harbor, MI. – One of the largest and nicest beaches around

St. Joseph, MI. – Silver Beach

Bridgman, MI. – Waco Beach

St. Joseph, MI. – Cliff erosion getting nearer to the Rail Road tracks
South Saint Joseph, MI. – Cliff erosion may have been minimized with adequate rip/ rap and sea wall.
South Saint Joseph MI shoreline. It appears that sea walls helped minimize erosion when compared with the shore line without.
