Building on a beach

Postby Anob » Wed Jun 20, 2018 3:06 pm

Besides coastal weather issues, are there any environment or structural concerns with building on a beach?

Is building on sand a good idea?

Maybe I'm looking too hard at this but I thought that sand has a decent bearing capacity and its well-drained. Besides issues with liquefaction and subsidence
are there any other issues with building on a beach? Or maybe I answered my own question ? Idk
