Description

Excerpted from the website:

The first thought many people have when they see the Thousand Islands is that they are dredged. Though many of these islands have been modified by dredging, the Thousand Islands formation is natural. The Thousand Islands landform is probably the result of what is called a flood tide delta deposit. A flood tide delta forms when a storm surge cuts an inlet through a barrier island. The dune sand that has been washed into the lagoon is spread in a manner similar to the delta formed at the mouth of a river. A natural movement of sand called long-shore drift has since closed the inlet, but the islands remain. Two lines of evidence support this conclusion. First, visual evidence from aerial photographs points to a similarity in shape and general form between the Thousand Islands and known flood tide delta deposits. In Figure 1, aerial views of the Thousand Islands prior to significant modification and a recently deposited flood tide delta in North Carolina are compared. Similarities in general shape can be seen. Long-shore transport has since closed the inlet at Cocoa Beach, though a topographical low area still exists where the inlet probably once was.
