Is there anyone there that can confirm if the beach restoration has begun? I have noticed on the Playa Palms webcam it looks like some pipes are heading out to sea, and on the Grand porto webcam ther is a caterpiller moving sand around.

Jurgen, from Mom's Bar (fan page on Facebook), took some pictures of the beach restoration yesterday at Zenzi Beach. Here are a few of the photos, re-posted with permission.

I was in Cancun around a month ago and they were working on the beach reconstruction then - same deal with the 1meter diameter pipeline pumping a mix of sand and water from the offshore boat.
It added around 200feet of beach (or more) to the part of Cancun beach that i was at. The only problem is that around a week ago when i went back i took some more pictures and the sea had already begun eroding the new layers of sand. As the new sand is highly compacted together it resulted in sand-cliffs around 8 feet high ! Hopefully this won't happen here after the beach reconstruction has finished. Take a look at these shots of Cancun beach from around a week or two ago. This was about 2 or 3 weeks AFTER the beach reconstruction there had been completed :

The main beach of Playa del Carmen, Mexico has and will be closed for all people and boats for a few more days. This news report shows a hired Dutch company extending the beacxh up 60ft in some places thus giving Playa peeps alot more beach to enjoy. Have a look here and see how they do it.

In cancun the beach was extended up to about 200feet. I'm not sure it will be that wide here, but i've a feeling it may be quite a bit more than 60feet, just judging on what happened in cancun.
