If life’s a beach, as the saying goes, it helps to have one. On Sunday at Park Place beach, folks were soaking up the sun, sand and surf. Especially the sand. Just last week, what passed for the same beach amounted to a narrow strip of sand ranging between 10 and 50 yards wide. At high tide, the water’s edge came just feet from the dunes. That all changed last week when the city’s beach replenishment project pumped in enough sand to increase the width to approximately 150 yards.
