These findings highlight the importance of nature-based coastal management, which allows beaches to adapt and recover autonomously after extreme events.

🌊The interaction between waves and the stream drives beach dynamics.
🔁The stream mouth migrates toward the more sheltered end, affecting sediment distribution.
🏖️Castell beach, a clear example of a “Good Health beach”, fully recovers after two years.

➡️Storm impacts vary by beach, influenced by morphology and structural conditions.

🌊 These findings offer a valuable framework for anticipating shoreline changes and improving future coastal management strategies.

structural changes, storms, and nourishments to tipping points. J. Guillén *, G. Simarro. Marine Geology 492 (2026) 107683. https://t.co/7w9DZ4v4x1

➡️Clear “tipping points” where shoreline behavior shifts abruptly.

➡️After each nourishment, beaches show rapid initial retreat, followed by gradual stabilization.

[Molly Project @molly_project]

At the inter-annual scale, the impact of extreme events is the main factor controlling beach behaviour. These general trends can be opposite locally for beaches that receive large amounts of sediment via longshore transport from adjacent beaches
