Aladdin,
I wouldn't want to own a beach front house, would you?

OTOH I don't think there is much evidence of any meaningful rise yet. I know of a sixty year old concrete pier forty miles from here (Charlotte harbor) and it is at the same level as when it was built.

Some of this stuff you read online about "sea level rise" is just propaganda. I don't know how many times I have read something about "global warming" submerging the island of Vanuatu. It is not that the sea is rising, the island has a heck of a big active volcano, and the place is unstable. Where I used to live in the Philippines, another very unstable place with lots of volcanoes and earthquakes, back in 1956 the whole port sunk into the sea six feet in an instant during an earthquake. Something like that is what is happening in Vanuatu.

On the Georgia and Carolina coast you have lots of wave action to move the sand around. Take Jekyll Island off the Georgia coast, you have the north end of the island washing away, but the south end of the island has grown a mile longer. That happens here on the gulf too. Nearby Sanibel and Captiva used to be separated by a wide inlet, now it is filled in completely.
