🌊 Restoring Beach Access at Long Nook: Woods Hole Group's Role in a Community-Driven Solution 🌊 Long Nook Beach in Truro is known for its wild beauty and scenic bluffs, but in 2024, erosion forced its closure due to unsafe conditions. Access to this beloved beach has been a critical concern for the community — but thanks to an innovative approach, there’s now a path forward. 🚶♀️ A New Way Down the Bluff Woods Hole Group, in collaboration with town officials and the Center for Coastal Studies, has been working on a sustainable solution. Their fifth design alternative proposes a path that winds down the bluff — minimizing environmental impact and avoiding the loss of crucial parking spaces. This design reflects the natural flow already seen in informal paths created by visitors. 📐 Engineering Expertise in Action Led by coastal engineer Mitchell Buck, P.E., Woods Hole Group conducted: ✅ Topographic Surveys to map the steep terrain. ✅ Resource Assessments of the wetland and coastal environments to ensure minimal disruption. ✅ Creative Design Solutions to maintain parking capacity while restoring safe access to the beach. 💡 What’s Next? With community support, Truro’s Select Board authorized Woods Hole Group to move forward with Alternative 5. The next step is securing a special permit from the Cape Cod National Seashore, allowing construction to begin in March 2025 — just in time for the summer beach season. At Woods Hole Group, we’re committed to designing solutions that balance community needs, safety, and coastal resilience. This project is a perfect example of that mission in action. 📣 Join the Conversation! How do we balance beach access with coastal conservation?
