This a very popular beach in the summer. This year the water level where higher then normal. When ever it winder & wavy the sand washed over the road. The town pushes the sand back only to have it go back during the next storm.
I’m stander where the road would be.
Parking that road is not very much (in terms of spots). Thinking about it I would not see a it as problem, but rather the solution . Let it be. If the water will keep pushing it back, close the road to cars (it currently is). There is plenty of parking around it, so losing the spots right by the beach in my mind would be no loss. More beach space for tourists (a large part of the towns economy in summer), it make the bushiness more money.
It be win for the town, & a win for the tourists.

Big win assuming that the extra san d is coming from submerged sandbars and the existing beach isn’t losing elevation. The latter case will mean the beach eventually starts to erode if you leave it.

A lot of the beach towns I’m familiar with artificially build out their beaches to be much larger than they would be naturally both to increase space for summer tourists and as flood protection for all the densely packed buildings built close to the shore.

It’s a mix. The stores where built when the water levels where low. Sand bars, & sand being pushed up.
