Can you say more about this?

We've been going to the St Ives Bay resort in Upton Towans for years and was about to book for this year.

This is from June 2010;-

“Over the next two weeks beach users at Hayle are going to see various bits of plant and machinery at the top of the beach while the beach pit is constructed. Later this summer, once all the cables have been connected together in the pit, it will be filled in again and the sheet piling will be removed, so you’ll never know we were there.”

Hopefully, nothing to worry about.

First saw on tripadvisor, someone had posted about beach devastaion,!!then have just seen a face book group save our sands . it seems to be saying that erosion of the dunes due to dredging of the sand and selling it, it seems from the pics to affect the paths aalong from the bluff towards the estuary and that part of the beach. and by harveys towens ,this is a great area just wanted to hear from any one close by or who had been recently, we are still going and looking forward to it :j
