(5) Many people on an island in western Ireland are excited. They are celebrating a new beach. But actually, it is the return of an old beach. The people live in Dooagh, a small community on Achill Island. Older residents of Dooagh remember travelling down to the coastline and walking on the sand. But during a storm in the 1980s, the beach was washed away. All that remained were rocks, seaweed and small pools of water. In recent weeks, the beach returned.
    Sean Molloy works for the Achill Island Tourist Office. (6) He told reporters that the sand began returning to Dooagh Bay last year. He said the water seemed brighter because there was more sand below. Then this year, after a series of storms in April when the wind was blowing hard, the sand appeared along the coastline. Residents woke up one morning after low tide to see 300 meters of soft sand.
    Achill Island is one of the western-most parts of Europe. (7) A bridge connects the island with the rest of Ireland. Sean Molloy said he hopes the beach becomes the sixth Blue Flag beach on Achill Island.
