Barges of Boulders Shore Up Cow Neck After Sandy [AERIAL PHOTOS]

Superstorm Sandy took a toll on Louis Bacon's property fronting Great Peconic Bay.

Hedge fund billionaire Louis Bacon's Sebonac property took a beating from Superstorm Sandy in October, and crews are at work this week making repairs to the waterfront.

Bacon famously donated a conservation easement of more than 500 acres in Cow Neck to Peconic Land Trust in 2001, according to The New York Times.
