Thanks Dimitris (and lovely to have you posting on the forum - we miss you!).  The beach does indeed look much better, particularly from this time last year.  Here's hoping that the wind keeps on blowing in the right direction!

I reckon I was 15 when I heard those words Janis luvver. And it was 2002 when I realised where my garden was. I now spend my life trying to get back to my garden..... And lucky enough to know that my Jen is in the same place with me.

Thanks for your chats and company on FB

loveandhugs
Phil

When we first came to arillas in '98 the beach was the biggest we've ever seen it, about 30 yards at the north end and only knee deep water for about 50 yards. I've often thought since that the addition of two new jettys, one outside kalloudis and the other at the other end of the strip would increase the beach size, but I guess the cost would be huge and probably beyond a whip round from forumites.

Think it's the position of the headlands either side of the bay that govern how much sand is deposited on our beach. The wind is the main factor.

SO... Now I'm wondering how much it would cost to chop a bit off each headland.

Of course you're right but jetties would act like the breakers on some british beaches and stop it being washed away so easily.

I would do anything to bring back the beach to how it was when we first saw it in 2002, you could walk almost to the end of the jetty then and as you say the water was shallow for a long way out.
 Oh well, we will keep the headlands and say our prayers that the beach comes back because I don't think we would be allowed to build breakers either.
 Perhaps the Arillas stone gatherers could do it surreptitiously...... lol

The beach today looks beautiful but Nan reports that it's strange underfoot with undulating sand banks ie. shallow then deeper then quite shallow again, so, beautiful but a bit different. 8)

I'm sat looking at the beach as I type this. It is bigger than it was two years ago but still hasn't returned to it's former glory. It almost disappears near to kaloudis and you need to have a paddle to reach the nudist beach (I didn't venture that far). The North end of the beach is the best part but unfortunately no sunbeds on it yet. The weather's lovely by the way and there hasn't been any of the thunder storms forecasted.
