Users of Vega Beach and neighborhood residents of the small Ribadesella community request urgent action to solve the sand situation before August. They believe that only a light intervention is necessary to bring everything back to normal. "Just a simple bulldozer would solve things," said the beachgoers.
This beach has experienced significant changes after the storms of the last winter and the growth of the Acebu River this past spring. The riverbed has moved its mouth, generating new and dangerous currents along the beach. At this time, the loss of sand on the beach has revealed many stony areas and what is worse, you can now see the water pipe from the Ana mine, which somewhat prejudices the viewer against this beach which is cataloged as a Natural Monument.
