Beaches around the world have been growing and shrinking as a function of wind, weather, tides, currents, seasons, storms, etc. since time began. It is we humans that build something "permanent" on the shore expecting it to remain the same forever...and then complain when mother nature does what she has done for time immemorial...shift sand around at the shoreline constantly...
What a shoreline looks like on any given day is temporary...and WILL change! Enjoy what you find on any given day...
Very well stated. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
And to all of these natural changes, don't forget to factor in mans invasion - dredging out, filling in, erecting beaches where nature never meant them to be, and all the other things we do to ourselves.......
On Anguilla a couple of years ago I asked what was creating the havoc that was occurring on Shoal Bay East around Gwenns. Several Anguillans at different times and in different situations each told me the same thing - man wreaks his own havoc and sometimes this is what we're left with.
