NS-08205 - Crescent Beach
PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.
Crescent Beach, notice all the social distancing.....this is part of the reason Nova Scotia has NO cases at all of corona virus.
-----------------------------------------------
Crescent Beach is a rare type of beach barrier called a tombolo, approximately 2 km (1.24 mi) long and 40 to 65 m (131 - 213 ft) wide. It divides the head of Green Bay from the tidal flats and salt march of Dublin Bay.
A tombolo is a natural sand bar that heads straight off shore to an island. A tombolo maintains a fragile balance between a building up of sand deposited by wind (generation), and the erosion of sand through wave scouring (degeneration). Most tombolos are therefore mobile, constantly shifting in length and width. Many will eventually disappear completely.
