It looks to me like it was a bare beach before the hurricane. I don't see any rubble.
Take another look...after your morning coffee.
Thats what I thought too. I used to work at 50 miles form there, and there are lots of beach that doesnt look much different from that. But I noticed that the photo file name had the word medium in it. I tried replacing it with the word large. No luck. Then big, and found this:
You can see 4 rows of beach cabin remains separated by streets.
Without a before picture, there is no way to see what kind of damage was or was not done.
