I've been seeing this for years in Cabarete. At on time large sand dunes rimmed the beach, Easterly point, to Nanny's. Nanny's had 200 ft. of beach with a dune. I'm talking 12 to 20 Ft. high. Now they need to pump in the beach. Not only here my friends. But all over the Caribbean. Follow this site.
