The recent passage of Hurricane 'Beryl' has left Mamitas Beach in a severe state of erosion. The storm caused the sea to consume what little sand remained on the popular destination, leaving it in a precarious condition.
From early morning, dozens of tourists, hotel guests, and locals visited the beach, hoping to see some sand recovery. This hope was sparked by the sea's temporary retreat the day before 'Beryl' hit.
However, visitors were met with a grim sight. The impact of 'Beryl' left Mamitas Beach with only a thin strip of coastline. The storm's aftermath was so severe that the aggressive waves are now crashing against buildings located on the shore.
Despite the beach's condition, dozens of visitors continue to arrive. Some are even crossing the barricade tapes set up by municipal authorities to prohibit access.
