Title: San Stefanos and Arillas Beaches - will winter storms do damage this year?
Post by: tonyco1 on January 29, 2010, 06:59:09 AM

I was wondering if the Bad Storms that Robbed Arillas of its Beach last year, will reverse the Damage or make it worse this year?
Also San Stef Beach had lots of it's sand moved around the corner to the Nudie beach section, will it all change again?
Any thoughts, especially from those living there?

The webcams do not seem to show any major erosion as far as you can see. Hopefully Arillas will be in better shape than last May.

I wonder how much of the cliff path from San Stef to Arillas has survived the winter as it gets narrower every year.

So much for all the stones they piled along the road towards the Kaloudis, Maggie's photos seemed to show the damage is worse than 2009.

i have seen a couple of pics on facebook showing the damaged beach in SS, the beach snack hut is ruined and was up in the play area in front of Havana Bar !!!!! and the beach front road in Arillas was lost completely at one stage BUT i am told this happens most years and all should be good by the time the season starts..................not so sure on the snack hut !!!!
