    Nostalgia! grew up near the beach. Built walls, dams, and pretend hydro schemes between high tides. Losing them to the waves was one of the best bits and the inevitable soaking you got from that rogue wave. Great times. good effort guys (from a self claimed expert).

      We had a cottage on a lake that we would spend our summers at, and I did the same thing, just had to haul buckets of water up to it haha. But we'd make a river bed at the top of the beach going to the dam

    Reminds me of a holiday in 1988 on the Med, near Elne. The River Tech formed an estuarine lake sometimes (it constantly shifted year by year) and in August there was quite a decent sized lake held back by the tiniest of sand bars. the kids were set to work, soon joined by German, French, Dutch kids, all of whom got the message in the way kids do. After some judicious digging, nature took over, the held back waters carved out their own channel and within minutes there was a full scale dam buster type escape. the kids (and more than a few adults) revelled in it - floating through at warp speed 1 into the Med and out for 50 metres or so before scrambling ashore for another go.
    A magical moment. the lake dropped a good 3 feet that day, but hey - it had been changing shape and capacity for centuries, we just gave it a helping hand. i googled it recently - completely different and far narrower. Still good for a day's fun though.
    here's a thing. just a few miles south is a similar, almost identical river system over the border in Spain. On the French side, upstream,the river is dammed periodically and the flow diverted to right and left on alternate days to water peaches and other small farms.
    In Spain, nothing. Their river dries up during the summer. During the winter it clearly flows asa torrent, hurtling stones and carving new channels all the time. Almost identical sized rivers. what does that tell you/

    I used to dig these teardrop shaped dams where the inside was dug out and the thickest part was toward the ocean and the point towards land, with my son. We would also eventually allow water to flood the inside creating a pool by creating channels directing the waves around the dam and to the top before running in. We occasionally used big rocks to shore up the dam as well. It was a frantic and mad struggle to keep the dam standing. My advice is to use spade shovels. They're much easier in the sand.

    I have dedicated nearly two decades of my life to studying oceanography, which has been an incredibly fulfilling and enriching journey. Over the years, I have gained profound knowledge and practical experience in understanding the complexities of the ocean and its vital role in our planet's ecosystem. It has been a privilege to contribute to the field, and I look forward to many more years of exploration and discovery. And based on this vast experience I can say that the water just wrecked that puny little dam. Get got.

    All kids including myself love to engage in such activity. Inland it is usually damming up a small stream to build a pool. All harmless fun until you arrive home with wet clothes and trousers full of sand and a none to pleased mother.

      For me it was Hampstead Heath in London - the wild bits - or the ponds; in those days kids went off for the day with instructions to 'be home by' and the rest of the day was ours - feeding the deer in the little zoo, making 'dens' in secret places in the trees, exploring for acorns or horse chestnuts in season, 'fishing' in the ponds or paddling.. Arriving home totally exhausted - generally just a tad late! That is just how childhood should be, and now I fear too many kids are driven by car to pre-arranged activities & never experience the freedoms of a 'wild' childhood!

      Please don’t. A solid barrier will cause even more erosion elsewhere and will not provide long term protection of the coastline. Here in Hawaii, we have wealthy newcomers who buy homes on the beach and build barriers like this illegally. Once they are found out, they are heavily fined and forced to remove them at their own expense. And the public excoriates them for it. How not to make friends in Hawaii.

    If memory serves (from college.... like 20 years ago), tidal energy makes up about 1% of the energy on earth. Geothermal is something like 3%. The remaining 96% is from the sun.
    Spend an afternoon burning all that energy and the tide wrecks your dam in seconds. Then you look down across the beach and see all that power. Then realize that all of the tides on all of the earth are a drop in the bucket of nature and it really teaches you something.

    I did that with my grandson, except we dug a rather large moat and wall around a castle. It didn’t even slow the water down! A good lesson on the power of the sea and Mother Nature. And fun too!
