Point Judith After Sandy Came To Visit

very old tree at Point Judith
This tree was found at edge of ocean and appeared to be very old

Pt Judith wall
The wall once was very neatly packed with rocks

Pt Judith parking lot
The parking lot - we were shocked to see a tiny parking lot after #Sandy

The parking lot looked like the moon

Pt Judith RI
You  can see here how small the parking lot became

Pt Judith Cabana that was
The gazebo that once held many weddings and special events - No longer

The Point Judith area was especially hit hard and it was amazing to see how much of the parking lot was now all covered by large rocks. It felt like you were walking on the moon crossing the parking lot via foot. You can tell the difference from my visit in June to the Point Judith area how the wall once looked. You can read more about the history of Point Judith here.

Are you still seeing things from Sandy's superstorm?

Leslie's Waves

waves on Hazard Rock

Hazard Rock

These first two photos are from Hazard Rock in Narragansett and they really are hazardous and have caused deaths throughout the years...

Lighthouse

The rest of the photos were taking along Point Judith and the one of the lighthouse was taken from a new memorial park - Fishermen's Memorial Park - a beautiful park with a gorgeous view of the Atlantic Ocean

Another Old Fort Still Stands Along The Atlantic Ocean

Another Old Fort in RI

The view from the Fort

A beautiful view from Fort Wetherill

Fort Wetherill

Most of the old fort area is inaccessible

Every now and then there is an opening to the old Fort Wetherill area - this is just one area of the large fort compound comprising of 51 acres

Rocks

This area under the fort is where many scuba divers go off the Altantic Coast in Jamestown, RI and where a movie, Moonrise Kingdom was recently made.

More of the Cliff Walk in Newport






Come Walk With Me On The Cliff Walk






It was a beautiful day to walk on the Cliff Walk in Newport yesterday with temperatures in the mid-80's with a slight breeze. You can hear a passerby in the video at the end. More cliff walk pictures coming tomorrow.
