I guess at the time there was a  lot of tree , there was also better stability.

Now that we only have pavement laid over sand it does not take long before it falls apart.

I am not a specialist but i guess i would have used cement to keep the pavement properly aligned and used a layer of concrete below.

Specialists let me know. But anyway erosion is unavoidable when the see is a few meters away from the road. And that is not only because of the rain.

No point in using a layer of concrete over sand. The sand leaches away and the concrete would just break and collapse. Either put in a solid rubble base under it down to bedrock or use piles and have a strong enough concrete top that it won't break. Either way it costs so won't happen.

heres a funny thing. notice the hole that forms in front of central when ever it rains? notice the big rain collector that they keep empty when it rains or else the basement will flood? where do they pump the water? well it comes out where that hole forms every time it rains. then they fill it in and repeat. go out at low tide and you can walk through and smell the still warm discharge from the kitchens and toilets in central as it seeps out through the sand. and they arent the only ones. at low tide you can see discharge on the beach in front of most of the hotels.

Delightful that sounds not.
