The Gulf waters north of the jetty are calm enough for people to swim and sunbathe on Nokomis Beach.
Fisherman think the catch is great here.
The huge rocks protecting the jetty sides are falling into the inlet and in need of replacement. The work will begin soon in early September 2009.
Wave action upon the jetty from the Gulf has caused much of the erosion.
Boats speeding through the jetty have added to the erosion.
