Beach erosion at Country Country

[poolguywindsor]

There is lots of beach there now, or at least there was in August like 20 yards of beach in front of Treehouse bar.

We were there in April and June of this year and the beach had come back nicely at both Country Country and Sea Splash. Treehouse had more beach than I can remember in the past 4 or 5 years. We walk, we drink, we forget...no pictures.

This was taken last December... Was pretty much the same in April.

Looks about the same as it did in March. We were there in March 2012 and we had to walk around when the tide came in. During the day there was only a few feet of beach to get through. Fast forward to March 2014 and the beach was like what you posted.

I feel like we are in the "weather" versus "climate" debate here.

Looking at the pictures from the 50's and from recent years, I've always wondered why there are so few palm trees left. Anyone have any insight? Was it done for safety from falling coconuts(seems unlikely)?

The trees were cleared for development. One of the main reasons there are erosion issues. Beach come and beach go. The pix of Treehouse bar are a perfect illustration. Stop building so close to the shoreline and clearing trees and let Mother Earth do her thing! And certainly stop the folly of hundreds of truck loads of bolders blocking traffic and access to the west end to create a breakwater that will likely accomplish nothing in the long run.

Once CC removes the eyesore of the burned down bar they are going to have a huge beach...... Nice to see the additional beach at Treehouse as well. It is much less dense than it was when the water was up to the bar.

Yeah, I get the clearing for development, it just looks like the focused more on removing palms and leaving other types intact.

Wow can't believe they haven't removed this yet
