Most of the sand at the base of the St. Clair esplanade wall has been washed away, leaving bare rock in its place. The bottom step of the concrete steps is nearly two feet above the rocks. The beach part of the esplanade still has plenty of sand and there is no danger, at present, of excessive scouring there. It is thought that when the weather is again from the east the sand will be returned.
