I live on Galveston for 10 years behind that seawall. I never understood why anyone would build out on Bolivar without the seawall! You’re asking for trouble. Also the west end of the island doesn’t have a seawall either - asking for more trouble there too.

Seawalls aren't so great for beaches. Just look a the beach erosion in Galveston. It makes more sense not to live on barrier islands.
