The beach is in a terrible state.
The beach is in a terrible state after the recent storms, it's going to take a lot of hard work to put it right :eek:.
|
Have been watching the webcam and it does look dreadful !
Really hope your weather improves soon |
It seems to be calming down now but we have had some hefty showers today and so far the electricity has stayed on :eek:.
|
I hope you all keep safe. Does look like it has been rough :(

Here are some photos taken by friends :-

All looks really sad and to think only last weekend we were sitting outside Stay in the sunshine!!
We hope all you residents are safe and that PP life and surroundings (it will take some clearing up!!) gets back to normal soon :) |
I have not heard of any injuries to people thankfully.
Although the wind is due to calm down from tomorrow it is only a brief respite as it's forecast to return at the end of the week. Because of this i doubt that there will be much clearing up done. |
Just checked out seemallorca webcam and it looks pretty bad, the beach has been torn apart
|
Pine Walk damage.
Here are some photos taken by a friend of serious damage to the Pine Walk :-

The diggers are out at either end of the beach making a start to clearing seaweed. Maybe they will build it up to form a protective barrier.
|
Well they are certainly on the ball, i hope their work is not in vain :(.
|
More pics on FB of them starting to clear the main beach of all the seaweed.
|
We followed a convoy of trailers yesterday which were loaded with seaweed. What do they do with it?
|
I think it's used as fertilizer ;).
|
In Jersey it was always used on the potato fields so perhaps it will help there
I hope they have good weather after this as the beach really took a lot of damage this year Has the Pine Walk all been repaired as well ? I wont have to panic about the sun beds this year ! |
Lots of activity on the beach this morning, digger putting the sand back in its right place, increasing the size to as it is in the summer, they should soon have the beach cleaner machine working, then hopefully the beds and shades can go on in time :):cool:
|
I read yesterday that everything has to be ready for Easter this year ;).
|
Which is the weekend of the 15th and 16th April isn't it?
|
I can't believe how much better the beach looks after a couple of hours work with a bulldozer. Well done to that man and what a responsibility redesigning the beach every year!! Perhaps he will let me have a go next year........!!!!!! :o)
|
The beach has been sorted out now so i will close this thread ;).
