Should the government spend a huge amount of money to replace the sand on the southern stretch of Seven Mile Beach that was worn away in the past several years by hurricanes and normal beach erosion?
Tourists come to the Cayman Islands from all over the world. Does Seven Mile Beach need an infusion of millions of dollars worth of white sand imported from Cuba and The Bahamas
to replenish the areas that have eroded? Is the Seven Mile Beach renourishment project an
emergency in 2024?
The oceanfront on all three Cayman Islands is sometimes ironshore. Foreigners who have built their homes on the oceanfront buy white sand to cover the ironshore. This white sand beachfront may be attractive to many tourists or homeowners, but those of us who love Cayman love the ironshore, too!
