There has been many a conversation about the stones on Ballyliffen Beach, are they natural or where they put there to protect the Golf Club from erosion? I have asked surfer and local alike with no certain answer. However an answer I found in an extract from the Golf Clubs AGM on Tuesday 26th February, 1974.
It reads “grave disquiet was expressed by members regarding the dangers of erosion along the seaward boundary of the course. This real threat to the Clubs property, and indeed to the future of golf in Ballyliffin was accentuated by the removal of the natural gravel barriers protecting the coastline.
Thousands of tonnes of gravel were being removed weekly, leaving a sandy coastline to the mercy of the sea. A large tract of property was literally washed away while the Club was concerned environmentalists begged the Council to be responsible and pro -active. Thankfully, albeit slowly, the removal of seashore materials was prohibited by the Council thereby allowing the natural gravel barriers to be re-established”.
Interesting No?
