With 26 miles of coastline, the town works hard to keep it intact.
Between the Blizzard of 2013 and wave after wave of snow storms, nor'easters, and rain, erosion is again a major concern in Plymouth.

On Long Beach, the earth moving equipment is tasked with removing tons of sand that got blown over the seawalls here, blocking drainage of the all-important Eel River. "Once it is all blocked, it creates a quite a bit of upstream …

Share your photos from the Blizzard of '13 (colloquially known as Nemo).
Waves hammered the coast, trees and utility poles snapped, and snow burried our cars. Then the kids went outside, and the lack of electricity and heat was forgotten for a little while as families built snow forts, made snowmen (and their families), went sledding, and had epic snowball fights. Through it all, you took pictures. Share them with Patch, we want to see what you'll remember about the Blizzard of 2013. We'll feature your photos on our Facebook page.
