This will affect the rundown nature of the area, thus causing misery to some of the locals whose only desire is a return to the squalor of the 1890's. Bring it on - along with a new Golf Links hotel.

It’s got the best beach and has brilliant summer evenings (winter is a shit however). Needs one good restaurant, glad we have Little Fish but PE needs more to create that spark. Port Erin beach WAS wonderful, sadly ruined as continuous ploughing by the comissioners has spread tons of stones all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can also happen with high tides and wind - seen exactly the same down here without anyone mucking about on the beach with tractors...

There is much more stone at the Toot end in recent years, in my opinion due to the commissioners raking the the beach, over the past few years they have transported tons of sand from the Toot end to the Cosy Nook end using a digger, tractor and trailer, I used to live on Port Erin beach in the mid to late 50's, and I don't remember any stones between the stream and and the flight of steps at the Toot end, we had to cross over the stream to get stones to decorate sandcastles.

gettafa Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) To be fair, that is the most times I have seen "the Toot" mentioned in a post. Etymologically 'the 'tute' as a contraction of The George Herdman Institute (eta, Sorry, as has already been pointed out at top of page by hagar) Edited April 15, 2019 by gettafa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never seen them transport sand over, seen them rake the seaweed up and taken away. You may be right there are more stones on the other side of the stream though. How about the possible reason that the old breakwater is definitely sinking, and this could be causing the further drift? And, does anyone really know how many flights of steps on the wall goes down on the beach side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
