3/31/26 Report - A Look at Some Treasure Coast Beaches and a Replenishment Project. Coin Community Gathering & Auction.

 

Written by the TreasureGuide for the exclusive use of the Treasure Beaches Report.

John Brooks Beach Monday Morning.

I got out to a couple beaches Monday morning.  After missing yesterday, I wanted to at least take a look today but did no detecting.

You can get a horse ride from Frederick Douglass.  They ride up towards the condos north of John Brooks and return to Douglass.  Nice thing to do for you family.

John Brooks Monday Morning.

There were no cuts at Brooks, which I expected.  As I told yesterday, I didn't see any cuts on the Treasure Coast despite the higher weekend surf.

There was seaweed on the beach. I also mentioned that yesterday.

Porpoise Beach Monday Morning.

The dunes at Porpoise Beach were eroded back a little farther though.

Porpoise Beach is the one pretty close to the Archie's Wreck and just south of the current renourishment project.

You can see the seaweed there too.

It reminds me of the beach south of Jupiter Inlet before all the work that was done after the hurricanes of 2004.  There was a bush at the bottom of the dunes around where a lot of Potosi cobs were found.

South of Sebastain Inlet.

I took some photos of the ongoing work at Sebastian Inlet during an exploratory walk this past Sunday. I was interested in learning more about the purpose of the posts being used there and checking the current conditions.

I also surveyed the area between the flag posts at Turtle Trail and only saw a small patch of the blue bag visible in the morning. Overall, it appears the large surf has not been productive at several other beaches as well.

Best,  Joe D.

Looks like we'll have a week of four-to-six-foot surf on the Treasure Coast.

Good hunting,
