Thank you for posting this terrific video showing a quieter Bethany than now. It shows what looks so a gentler ocean at times, but also images of houses damaged by a storms in the 50’s. It shows a huge effort to protect the town using boulders and sheets of steel. The south section of Bethany was bulkheaded in 1983, buried under a foot or so sand since then. The project shown in the film built jetties going out into the ocean. I remember those jetties from my teens, I think, when my family vactioned beginning in 1968. Thank you!❤❤❤❤❤
