My brother Bob Boots proverb

 My brother, Bob Boots, is a construction battalion and has been for more than 20 years and his home base was Gulfport, Miss.. He had a house that was only 1,000 feet away from the beach. When we were there, we'd walk to the beach from his house.

 There are a lot of unexpected pieces that work well in a coastal home where the decor should not be overdone. It should be simple, especially in a beach house where you may want to walk around in your swimsuit.

 We had water underneath our house. Now we are taking baby steps until they get this beach rebuilt. We used to have 100 yards of beach.

 I live in a house that overlooks the beach. I used to be able to see the beach from the second floor, but now it's blocked.

 I'd hate to see the house go because I worked 58 years so I could have a home like this. For them too take it to satisfy some developer I don't agree with it. They have one plan that has it ten feet from the back of my garage, the other through the center of my house.

 For us, it was business as usual; we really never stopped working. One of the guys in the band lost his house. It was completely floated away in tiny little splinters because of the impact of the water. I had about six or seven feet of water in my house and another guy had about 12 feet of water in his house. There are things we'd been saving for years and years. We lost everything materially. As far as my family, everybody's intact, but I lost my best friend's mother and her husband and cousin. They drowned in their house. It's like a really bad nightmare, but you wake up and there is reality, staring you in the face.

 We want to position Sea Gull Cottage right at the center of Palm Beach. It is an important part of our heritage in Palm Beach and after nearly 120 years as a sort of vagabond, it deserves a permanent home.

 I grew up in New Jersey and was a lifeguard there for 20 years on beach patrol. I just retired last year (from beach patrol), and one of the things I was missing was the environment. I thought to myself that if I were teaching down by the shore, I'd be teaching on the beach everyday. How can I pull that off here? Then, I realized how close Nine Mile Run is to our school.

 I was in Bethany at about 7:30 a.m. and my estimate was waves of 3, possibly 4 feet. Virtually negligible beach erosion. It was the kind of thing you see in just a very minor blow. People could go out to the beach today and have a good time.

 [Exactly where his house is now, Harvey says. In a small town in Connecticut. He's tearing down the one he lived in for 22 years and rebuilding.] My house was designed by a heterosexual architect for a heterosexual man, ... There was no woman involved. When I bought the house, there wasn't a broom closet. You have to walk with your groceries from the parking area through the entire house to get to the kitchen.
  Harvey Fierstein

 Panama City Beach was the smart guys - they have an engineered beach. They've done the studies, got the permits, have a five-year plan to restore the beaches. We tried to get that done, but, unfortunately, we didn't. I just hired a beach project manager.

 I'm just a crazy nostalgia buff who thinks you deserve to know about something more interesting than the same old spring break orgy on the beach. Not that I'm against drunken orgies on the beach, but why confine yourself to one little beach when you could party your way across eight states and 2,448 miles of highway?

 Our house is only one block off the beach,

 I think beach nourishment is used to help sell housing projects and protect the towns' tax base. People have this idea of the Outer Banks as a wild, wind-swept destination and an artificial beach will take away that lure which in turn could hurt the economy.

 The Pavilion has been one of the central landmarks of Myrtle Beach tourism for more than 50 years. But increasingly, the Pavilion has come to symbolize the past of Myrtle Beach, what Myrtle Beach used to be.
