Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 45, No. 3, Pg. 5:
Laguna Playa Grande (left) sits behind a vegetation-covered barrier beach. Surges from intense storms carry sand and bits of shells from the ocean beach over the dunes and into the lagoon. Such “over-topping” events leave distinctive layers in lagoon sediments that identify hurricanes.
