Barra beach - not a beach

This is really sad compared to what used to be a very pretty and user friendly beach. I think the dredge is still there so maybe they'll cover it with sand once again.

Punta Vela - Marina Residences

This is the new Grand Bay residential and marina project that is very difficult to see unless you are out on the lagoon. Google the project if you are interested in lot prices but they are way up there for sure.

The dredge that has been pumping sand from the lagoon to the beach will be used to maintain a channel to the marina, expand Grand Bay's older marina and keep the main channel open.

Big changes and hopes for Barra beach

The changes and additional sand does seem remarkable .... especially after another few days of large swells a week ago. It seems this dredge pumping sand from the lagoon to the beach can work 24 hours a day and is bound to make some progress with the amount of sand in front of Barra. There is also the unknown bulkhead and the reef bags just off shore that are contributing to this in their own way

Then we have this very idealistic video done about everyone contributing their little piece of sand to the project.  Was this done before or after ..... I don't know.  Probably before but great karma and feeling in this Barra community "rebuild our beach project".  Very artistic and maybe indirectly influenced the outcome.

Friend Glenn can be seen a number of times in this video.

Don't think he carried a bucket but heart was in the right place
