I fully concur with Shaldon Micallef's letter Għajn Tuffieha Slowly Losing Its Beach (June 11).

Another beautiful sandy beach which seems to have been abandoned is Golden Bay. Surely, the name is misleading. I took my daughter from Canada with some other friends over to Golden Bay and we could not believe our eyes when we saw the state of the sandy water's edge. It was full of rocks of a million different sizes. Tourists of all ages were struggling to walk over these obstacles, some falling over while the young were helping the old to thread on these sharp stones. It made me feel ashamed and disgusted!

Why do we have to leave our prime tourist attractions in such a state? Where is the minister responsible? Why not send 50 immigrants (who are going crazy doing nothing), give them the tools and trucks and send them first thing in the morning, as the cock crows, to clear all the stones and seaweed from Golden Bay and Għajn Tuffieħa?

This lackadaisical attitude will not do! A video film of people, young and old, coming out of the water, threading on these stones, looks like people coming out of a bomb site and not a golden sandy beach. Action please, not words!
