Westport does not show up in the hot spot map above.
Also not shown: Damon Point
In recent years, Damon Point has been a popular spot for beachcombing, walking and various sport/recreational activities.
When I started blogging about Damon Point beach access two years ago, I thought improvements would happen at some point.
A Dec, 2022 look at what was going on here.
I was surprised to see (two years ago) many cheerful web pages describing good times for beach walkers out at Damon Point. It seemed tricky to find posts describing deteriorated conditions.
Various web pages would refer to the area as a state park.
With Sadness
Last spring we walked out and around Damon Point. Very happy that we did that.
It looks like the area is gone for good now. Love to see real newspeople take a hard look at what happened out here. When and why was a decision made to turn away from maintaining the 1916 jetty?
