Dubbed \u201c<em>the most beautiful land ever seen by human eyes<\/em>\u201c, by Columbus himself, these words would mark the fate of the Atlantic Coast as a major tourist destination until present day. The beauty of the North Coast`s landscape is primarily its beaches, and here we are providing information on the nature of beaches, specially those affected by the North winds and its currents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>First let`s read a brief intro from NASA`s Earth Observatory<\/strong>: \u201cBeaches are dynamic, living landscapes. Spend a day on the beach and you see the micro scale \u2014 in the grains of sand blown by winds, tumbled by the surf, or carried out in your shoes. Spend a week, and you see sandbars and wading pools arise and disappear. Spend a year, and you see dunes grow, shrink, and migrate. When you look across decades and centuries, you see the landscape evolving on a wider scale, but still one that humans can experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A more complete explanation on the subject of actively changing beaches\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/earthobservatory.nasa.gov\/Features\/WorldOfChange\/cape_cod.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">can be found in this article<\/a>.<\/p><div id=\"golde-3935791266\" class=\"golde-content\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/property\/spc2516\/\" aria-label=\"Sosua beach condos\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/beachcondos.jpg\" alt=\"Sosua beach condos\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/beachcondos.jpg 1106w, https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/beachcondos-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/beachcondos-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/beachcondos-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1106px) 100vw, 1106px\" width=\"1106\" height=\"553\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the North Coast of the Dominican Republic we are used to seeing shifting sand changing the landscape along the coast, specially when weather gets rough. The beaches near Imbert Beach, Casa Marina, Playa Laguna, Hideaway, Cabarete, and other locations along the shore line are all affected by the same phenomenon. Cabarete Beach`s erosion is thought to be the main \u201csupplier\u201d of sand to these new shifts, as the coast line has shrinked in the past 10 years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MAJOR CHANGES IN LANDSCAPE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first major change occurred around the year 2001, when the water front at the \u201ccalle sin salida\u201d of <a href=\"https:\/\/sosuabeachdr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sosua<\/a> started the same natural process of bringing sand, which after several months became larger and essentially became what is now Alicia Beach ( it grew twice its size the past 6 years or so ).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second major change recorded in history is the formation of a second beach, that started the same process of shifting sand from one location to another ( the beach next to Imbert was washed into the ocean, at the same time the sand path was recorded moving to the shores of the Piergiorgio`s Puntilla Hotel shore ). This event started in late December and was more noticeable in early January.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_269\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-269\" class=\"wp-image-269 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/beach-formation-sosua1-1024x253-1.jpeg\" alt=\"New beach forming in Sosua DR\" width=\"1024\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/beach-formation-sosua1-1024x253-1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/beach-formation-sosua1-1024x253-1-300x74.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/beach-formation-sosua1-1024x253-1-768x190.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-269\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">he beach sand along one beach is moved by the ocean to a new location, forming a new beach within 4 months.<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the same time this happened, Alicia Beach grew about 10-15% in size and mass ( expanding to the front of Los Balcones building), closer to Piergiorgio Hotel. The whole process of the newborn beach, as of May 1, 2017 took about 4 months to complete. What remains to be seen is whether the new beach will grow as Alicia`s, retreat back to its original source or remain its current size.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_270\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-270\" class=\"wp-image-270 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/beach-formation-sosua2-1-1024x253-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Beach evolution\" width=\"1024\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/beach-formation-sosua2-1-1024x253-1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/beach-formation-sosua2-1-1024x253-1-300x74.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/beach-formation-sosua2-1-1024x253-1-768x190.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-270\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The moving sand was seen for weeks going East West.

( see graph below ). This seems more like the natural shifting process we are used to seeing in the North Coast, now amplified by climate change in the past few decades ( read more on beach erosion\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/what-causes-beach-erosion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in this Scientific American article<\/a>). The interesting part is the fact that beach erosion can be a one way process, whereas in the North Coast the sand does come back ( or is replaced ) every now and then ( 2-4 months ). The rise of sea levels due to climate change is the major culprit of the changing coastal line, and these severe shifts according to scientists.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_271\" style=\"width: 645px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-271\" class=\"wp-image-271\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/tectonicmap1-tile-768x576-1.jpg\" alt=\"Tectonic activity\" width=\"635\" height=\"476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/tectonicmap1-tile-768x576-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goldenkeymanagement.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/tectonicmap1-tile-768x576-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-271\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tectonic activity in the area during those months<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stormy weather in the past 45 days ( and the effect of neap tides ) have again affected the landscape along the North Coast, and this seems to be the reason we are seeing a larger Alicia Beach and a newborn Piergiorgio Beach next to Sosua Beach.
