While some locals and councillors push for interventions like sand fences or pier modifications to maintain the beach, the council is leaning toward letting nature lead, citing its role in coastal defense and carbon storage. Visitors are divided — some miss the traditional sandy experience, others embrace the wilder, more biodiverse landscape. With costly past attempts at control failing, the council is now preparing a policy paper to manage this natural change, ultimately rejecting a motion to preserve the sandy beach — signaling a new era of conservation-focused coastal management.
