The 2025–2026 Hilton Head beach renourishment project was underway in the Coligny Beach area when we visited. The project involves adding 2.1 million cubic yards of sand to counteract erosion, pumping sand 24/7 from offshore to reshape the beach.
Here are images of the equipment and even birds looking for food.

Nature, with wind and erosion, created an imaginative sculpture – a bear mother holding a cub, if you look closely

The geologic history of Acadia National Park, Maine stretches back in time through millions of years to the formation of the oldest rocks on Mount Desert Island and continues to the present with the persistent forces of erosion. Evidence of this rich geologic past can be seen across the island, along rocky shorelines and atop windswept mountains.
