It was in poor condition until 2011, then Hurricane Irene partially wiped away large sections of the pavement. In early October 2012, huge mounds of fresh sand were delivered to the area, likely a part of the beach and inlet's stabilization as part of the ongoing Belt Parkway reconstruction work. But on Oct 29+30, 2012, Hurricane Sandy Sandy moved those sand mounds and parts of the beach dunes across the entirety of Plumb Beach and the highway. This segment of the pathway became a 1/4 mile long sand pit.
It has now been replaced, along with some adjacent dune and beach grass stabilization. Welcome to the new 2015 Plumb Beach!
