Irish beach reappears 33 years after vanishing into Atlantic Ocean
A beach that was swept away more than 30 years ago from a remote island off the west coast of Ireland has reappeared after thousands of tons of sand were deposited on top of the rocky coastline. The 300 metre beach near the tiny village of Dooagh on Achill Island vanished in 1984 when storms stripped it of its sand, leaving nothing more than a series of rock pools.But after high spring tides last month, locals found that the Atlantic Ocean had returned the sand.

OSTEND, Belgium (Reuters) – A beach in Belgium has been transformed into a giant sandy gallery, featuring larger-than-life super heroes , cartoon characters and Cinderella’s castle, for one of the world’s biggest sand - sculpture festivals . Working with 7,000 tonnes of sand , a team of 32 artists
Working with 7,000 tonnes of sand, a team of 32 artists spent five weeks creating the 150 works for the Ostend Sand Sculpture Festival, which opens on Saturday and runs until September, providing rain does not wash away the exhibits.
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.
