Locals overjoyed as beach washed away 30 years ago returns after storm
Villagers say they are delighted a beach washed away over 30 years ago has returned to Achill Island in recent weeks. For the first time since 1984, an extensively sandy beach has returned to Dooagh Bay, Co Mayo. The beach near the west coast village of Dooagh on Achill Island disappeared in Spring storms in 1984 after waves washed all the sand away. The beach was left with nothing more than rock pools. However, for the first time since the storms of 1984, the island’s villagers and tourists can enjoy a walk along the strand again, as the sea has deposited thousands of tons of sand onto the formerly rocky beach.

Many of the artists work in other mediums, such as wood or marble carving, and said they found sand sculpting presented some challenges.
"What I like in the sand is that you must be very tactile while carving, I am also an ice carver and to compare with ice, the sand is very fragile," Russian artist Sergey Zaplatn told Reuters.
