Later in the afternoon, we met up with Matt and a friend of his (who had the best Bay Watch-ish one piece!) and their beach picture was so good that it forced Grant and I...

It was the first time I'd been out to Far Rock since Hurricane Sandy. Crazy to see that the entire boardwalk was completely gone and they had up fencing everywhere.

These big trucks were all over the place hauling sand.

Better luck next cove.

Check out that pristine white sand beach! Pretty sweet, eh? A lot of people I know scoff at the thought of New York City beaches, but those people are idiots! How sweet is it that I can hope on the subway, and for $2 be at a place that looks like this in 30 minutes?
