Ocean Isle Erosion

What is left of 2nd Street in Ocean Isle Beach, NC where the ocean has reclaimed land, homes and a large section of 2nd Street due to rising tides and erosion. About 3,800 homes are packed together on the narrow seven-mile long Ocean Isle. The rising ocean has worn away at the eastern end, where streets and lots have been steadily disappearing.
