The beach 'that came back'
Dooagh village in the far west of Ireland lost its beach 30 years ago, when all the sand was washed away in a storm.
It used to be the main resort on Achill Island in County Mayo, since then, two of its hotels closed down.
In the last few weeks, something miraculous happened - freak tides dumped hundreds of thousands of tonnes of sand in the cove, creating a 300 metre long beach.
