This can be said of any of the beaches along the east shore of Huron right now. We were at Port Franks last week and the beach is half the size it used to be. The water level at the Pinery is almost up to the dunes now and washing most of the sand out. They all have shallow water and sand bars now.
We were @ The Pinery in July ..... ya, not a whole lot of beach left, but much more than last year. What we did notice this year as compared to past years .... lots of large stones when you first enter the water, actually painfull to walk on. Remember the good ole days at The Pine when the beach was massive, and the shallow water had the rippling sand and shallow water (sigh). Oh well, lucky to say my kids were able to experience and enjoy The Pinery beach at its finest. Kids are grown up now, no longer camp, so thye beach is no longer our primary decision maker when it comes to campgrounds .... more of the bike riding, and nice treed sites with some room between you and your neighbor
