Sharley Haddon s description of Pakiri Beach s predicament is simple: If you dig a hole in a bowl of sugar, what happens to the sugar around the edge?
She thinks almost 100 years of sand mining off Pakiri Beach, north of Auckland, has caused the shore s sand and the dunes to slump into the holes and trenches left by dredging.
To visitors, Pakiri Beach still looks like a slice of paradise; a long, empty arc of white sand extending from the Pakiri to Mangawhai. For locals like Haddon, there s worry. The beach has changed and not for the better.
