It's still too soon to get directly onto the beaches of the hotels that are the first to be worked on in the Cancun beach restoration project, but we've got some early photos from as near as we could get to the work being done. As we gain access to each hotel's beach we will be adding more photos. Here are some slideshows of the early work in progress.

News: Cancun Beach Recovery is Underway
21 October 2009
 

Cancun's long-awaited beach restoration project is nearly underway. After prior numerous delays, it was announced today that the official start of the beach restoration project has been moved to next Tuesday, October 27 due to some legal issues related to the project.  However, work continues in preparation for the beach recovery project. On Monday work began on the connection and installation of geotubes (to help prevent future erosion).  They are awaiting the arrival of the dredger, which is expected to arrive in the area this weekend.

Mexico has invested 957 million pesos (70.3 million US dollars) to recover a total of 16.8 miles of beaches in Cancun, Cozumel and Playa del Carmen.  To implement the project, the authorities selected two underwater sand banks known as "La Ollita" y "Banco Norte", which will be dredged and the sand which is collected will be deposited on beaches set for restoration.

The beaches to be restored in Cancun run from Punta Cancun (near Dreams) to Punta Nizuc (near Club Med), a total of approximately 11 kilometers. The project also includes beach recovery in areas of the Playacar area of Playa Del Carmen and some beaches on the island of Cozumel. The project is expected to restore 5.2 million cubic meters of sand in a period of 70 to 80 days, to be completed in January 2010.
