A bit complicated, but you need Google Earth PRO. Go to Smith Point Park on Long Island. There's a big inlet with a big tidal delta on the lagoon side (just a bit like at Sebastian) to the west of the beach park. Go to "view" above the screen > Historical Imagery, and go back to 2012. In April, no inlet. November, a cute little inlet. Quickly turned into a pretty big inlet.

That is fun! In the 3/2012, you can see deep water up the edge of the island, probably a previous inlet that location. Serious overwash in the 11/2012! Almost healed, in 10/2017, nice bar. Good surf 9/2019! Generally, south side eroding, north side accreting, inlet moving south, crowfoot delta formation lagoon side, all in keeping with expectations of coastal geology. Must have a limited sand supply to keep it from closing entirely (?). Nice show and good find.
