This could easily be fixed but because it's not a lucrative area for foreign tourists and big hotels its is left to deteriorate. Many hotel beaches are like this but the hotelier and investors put huge boulders and dump up parts of the sea far out to create wave breaks that prevent the sea from being rough and choppy. They also import sand to restore and make a beach area larger. It's the authorities who don't want to save the beach.

[@jaexperience9357]

There was little care given to hellshire beach back in the day more about selling fish and the very same fish parrot fish that produces sand from the coral reefs they eat we have to learn what ever we enjoy or provide livelihood must be protected and I'm sure if this was a big money tourist area government would already step in with artificial reefs just sad to see what happening

I saw that coming. The building of concrete structures on the shores of beaches together with global industrialization of rapid emittance of carbon gases in the air that leads to the global warming effects, are just examples of environmental violations that led to that and continuing destruction of the beaches. One has to ask, why didn't the government take the necessary actions after being warmed? Isn't it now obvious with the mining going on in the interior of the island, that that is major concern? Next, as in this case, before it is too late, we don't want to see no video recording of dried up trees, rivers and lost of endemic species, as a result of greed from politicians that are bent on pocketing from private interests to the detriment destruction of the whole environment.

Antartica ice is melting really fast due to climate changes

[@Introvertsan]

Too many buildings on the beachfront plus erosion aren't helping. You barely have any space to stay on the beach just endless shacks and huts. No where to talk and you Are almost itching upon people. If this is the beach now imagine the next decade and how far in the sea will be maybe near the hills in twenty more years or so. The parrot fish are being taken out if the sea, no one is eating the lionfish, people are selling sand, pollution is being flung in the sea, people are cutting down mangroves which protects the sea and us. Best thing to do is live in the hills while you can because a lot of places in the low lands are going to get hit badly over time especially major cities that are near the seas and oceans. The government is silent on this matter where the sea levels are rising steadily for several years now

The way the Prime Minister is doing our beach is the right way to go, a nice clean environment, with bathroom facilities, well maintained snack bar or restaurant, with internal staff to keep the place clean. If we need to pay an entrance fee so be it. Nothing of any substance can be built from informality, a lot of Jamaican buy into the stupid idea of Manley, to bring standard down to people, No!!!
