Slightly exposed riprap seawall after dune erosion

Slightly exposed rip-rap seawall at the base of the dune (the "dune toe") after dune erosion. Small seawalls are created using large rocks (rip-rap) at the dune toe to fortify the dune, reduce dune erosion from elevated water levels and storms, and help to protect property. Over time, these seawalls may become covered by natural dune growth, but high-water events could re-expose them.
