RE: Storms Stole The Sand

in #lessbeach5 years ago

Interesting post @abh12345. Reminds me of the one time my beloved and I made it to Hawaii. Kauai to be exact.

The good news is we spent a week on one of the most beautiful islands on the planet. The bad news is, in our unfortunate timing, we arrived a year after one of the worst storms in their history. Which took a lot of their beaches "out to sea" ...

And unlike what you are indicating here, I don't think the sand on the Kauai beaches was coming back. At least very easily. The depth of water just off the coast was pretty deep, as I recall.

Well, bummer the timing of the tourists arriving there also appears to have been a little off ...

Sort:  

Thanks for dropping by and sharing that tale. It sounds like a far worse situation with little chance of recovering the lost sand.

I heard last night that a number of beaches on this side of the island have suffered, and that it has happened before.

The timing is not great, but Mother Nature isn't concerned about the tourist season 😊
