How does a beach cave in? Read my post above.

If you set up a barrier to wind and wave action in the wrong place, on the leeward side of the barrier (the side protected by the barrier), sandtraps can naturally occur. To put it simply, a sandtrap in this…

Good to see reason prevailing in this decision. However, the bureacrats will not admit their fault in closing off the bay to start with. Look to them to appeal ad nauseum just to be bloody-minded.
