Structures behind beach are protected as long as the added sand remains.
When erosion continues, beach nourishment does not leave hazards on the beach or in the surf zone. This is a big advantage when compared with "hard" beach stabilization structures like seawalls or groins. Seawalls may protect structures behind the beach, but they almost always cause the beach in front of the wall to become narrower. If erosion breaches the seawall, then debris from the wall will be left on the beach and in the surf. Since beach nourishment only puts sand on the beach, no debris is left when it erodes.

Is beach replenishment a good idea?
No, it's not a good idea. It's a huge waste of money. Beaches are NOT as some would like to think infrastructure, to be repaired. Beaches are part of the natural super structure, like glaciers or mountains or the sky. Thinking we can stabilize them is foolish and counter productive. It is we who must move back as the Oceans rise during the warming . The whole beach replenishment idea is an arrogant and expensive, but ultimately futile project that enriches a few and does nothing more then give the illusion of doing something for a few hundred very self interested politicians. It also has virtually no scientific basis or backing among coastal geologists. In summary, beach replenishment projects are essentially pork barrel politics @ their worst.
