After several months of work on the north of our coast, Les Deveses has recovered an image that many generations of Dénia did not know. We have heard stories about when the beach shore was very far from the first line of homes, we have even been able to see some old photographs that corroborated this. But until now we have not been able to experience that wide beach for ourselves. Until now.
Les Deveses beach has managed to recover its sand lost for decades after long-awaited regeneration work. And not only has what was lost by him been recovered temporary glory, but sand that has not been seen for decades has been recovered.

Current status of the first section of Les Deveses in Dénia
In January 2020, the Gloria caused some stretches of the coast to literally be left without a beach. But before the storm there was little left, just a couple of meters in, for example, the famous group of houses in Les Deveses whose terraces have become a promenade.
Now not only have those few meters been recovered, but the work has managed to recover more than 30 meters after providing 650.000 cubic meters of sand. It seems unbelievable, but Les Deveses is now one of the beaches widest in Dénia.

A project that is more than sand
The ambitious project to regenerate Dénia beach has involved an investment of 14.459.500 euros. In addition to the sand, two new breakwaters have been created and the height of the existing breakwater has been increased.
In addition to the recovery of the beach, the project includes environmental regeneration measures. This involves the regeneration of existing dunes and the creation of new dunes where they did not previously exist. For this purpose, the planting of native species will be carried out and sand collectors known as "bardisas" will be placed. To protect the dunes, flexible fencing will be installed to delimit their perimeter.
Another important aspect of the project is the improvement of access to the beach. They promise to rearrange existing public accesses as far as possible to protect the dunes and facilitate entry to the beach.
Sterile action and facing the gallery. It will last as long as a piece of candy at the door of a school, that is, until the next big storm. Instead of addressing problems globally, we want to block the sun with a finger and kill flies with cannon shots.
Alright,
but the coastal law does not make sense, taking away people's homes when they were legal before (they should ask the city council for explanations...). Let's see what it turns out to be.
Otherwise, I would say that in the Riu Racons area there has always been sand (it comes and goes with the storms and regenerates) but the rest was nothing…. Let's see those dunes!
Apart from the posturing of generous comments (with the goods of others) the
Effect of this action is impressive. The breakwaters create a permanent effect. How it looks in the areas that have them further south. We don't know how long it will be, but at the moment the sand is where it used to be... that is, the sea and its bottom are where before, everyone can use the beach and the properties are safe. Pseudo-ecologist comments surely have no merit there. Generous socialism with
Other people's money as usual
We'll see how long it lasts...and when the sea takes it away, let's hope we learn the lesson
Another environmental catastrophe for the deveses-almadrava, there is not enough with tourist overcrowding, wastewater discharge, etc., when the next storms swallow all that sand, where will it go? What consequences will it have? It will cover poseidonia and caves on the seabed, a refuge for fish? It doesn't matter down there, no one sees it, it doesn't matter. The fault will be the exploitation of recreational and professional fishing, it is difficult to do things to everyone's liking but there are actions that are difficult to justify with public money for the benefit of some. how many.
The clear example that the sea does not understand property but the people say that they "recover the beach" when really it is tackling more than you can, this is not "recovering beaches" it is eating land from the sea...
[The work has managed to recover more than 30 meters after providing 650.000 cubic meters of sand. ] recover?? It's not recovering sand when you're adding it yourself again, right?
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE WORKED AND COLLABORATED ON THIS PROJECT COME TRUE.
If the intention has been very good and from the heart, but unfortunately the sea will recover its property shortly,
I am a lover of Denia and its people.
Don't cheat!! Those photos are right at the end, it has already changed and not even a big storm has come in, we will see how long it lasts, we will see if the investment has been worth something or it has been a lot of millions thrown into the trash, which I am afraid will It is what it will be.
It is sad and very expensive not to recognize that that land already belongs to the sea and will be taken away again like every year.
That a few live literally within the sea costs all of us Valencians a lot of money.
It is a matter of repopulating with dunes, that is what protects the beach…. (saying that the sand goes away because they build dikes and things in the ports and that changes the currents...) and the beach also gives money to the Valencians... abzos
