Beach that washed away 33 years ago reappears after freak tide
A stunning beach that washed away 33 years ago during violent storms has reappeared thanks to a freak tide.

The beach near the Irish village of Dooagh on Achill Island vanished in 1984 after waves swept away all the sand.


The rock pools left behind caused trade to plummet with almost all the village’s hotels, guesthouses and cafes shutting down.
However, after a freak tide, hundreds of thousands of tons of sand have been dumped over the span of ten days recreating the 300 metre long beach.
Sean Molloy, manager at Achill Tourism, said: ‘Before it disappeared, the beach had been there for as long as living memory, almost continuously, until 1984-85.

‘During that time there was some big storms that really destroyed the beach and it was completely washed away and 1984 was the last time the beach was there.
‘Then in April when we had that cold snap over Easter, the wind was coming in from the north.
