Rote has some of the most beautiful and 
peaceful beaches I have ever
been on but they are under treat from sand extraction. My travels over the holiday period lead me to realise how much this is happening. I had been aware of a sign in Nembrala saying that sand extraction was prohibited and had seen occasional evidence of extraction before b
ut as I toured around it was a frequesnt occurrence. On one beach I discovered the level had been reduced by almost 2 meters and piles of sand were waiting collection.

The stone is then delivered to individual homes where people sit and with a hammer reduce large slabs to small stones.
