Beach reappears 33 years after vanishing into ocean

A beach has reappeared after 30 years from a remote island off the west coast of Ireland. The beach near the tiny village of Dooagh on Achill Island was swept away in 1984 when storms stripped it of its sand leaving a series of rock pools. The 300-metre beach returned after thousands of tonnes of sand were deposited on top of the rocky coastline after high spring tides last month.According to a tourism officer, the famous beach once sustained four hotels and many guesthouses on the west coast of the island of 2,600 people.
