The 300m beach disappeared three decades after a night

The villagers in an island of Ireland were very surprised and happy to discover the entire 300m long beach was swept away 33 years ago suddenly appeared again after only one night thanks to the tide.

The beautiful beach near Dooagh village on Achill Island , Ireland disappeared during the storm of spring 1984 after the waves swept away all the sand. With a view of only pebble stone cliffs, almost all hotels, motels and cafes in the village must be closed. However, thanks to the strong tide, hundreds of thousands of tons of sand poured onto the beach during the 10 days of April, recreating the 300m long beach, according to Sun.

The pile of sand was accrued after only one week, making local residents very happy.

Local people hope the beach will remain here to be officially recognized in the following year review.

"Before it disappeared, the beach was there for a long time and almost continuously until 1984 - 1985. During that time, some big storms actually destroyed the beach and it was completely washed away. The year 1984 was the last year of the beach there, and then in April, we had a cold spell that lasted through Easter with the wind coming from the north, the wind blowing regularly and steadily, bringing wrecked material from elsewhere, " said Sean Molly, manager at Achill Tourism.

According to Molly, piles of sand are accreted only after a week, making local residents very happy."It's good that the beach reappears. This is an incredible example of the power of nature and how the coast changes in just a few days , " Molly said.

Dr. Ivan Haigh, associate professor of oceanography at the University of Southampton, sand along the coast is always in a constant state of change, shifted by storms, waves and wind. It is also influenced by the sediment supply from many mudflats when located 100km away. The strength of storms and ocean waves as well as changing environments provide ideal conditions for sand accumulation.
