Abstract: Gros Beach is located close to the Eastern border of the Cantabrian shore and isthe beach which is furthest to the west within the city limits of the beautiful city of San Se-bastian(Guipuzcoa,Spain),as can be seen in the figure 1.Figure 2 shows a view of thecity from the vantage point of boats arriving to the little port of San Sebastian located nthe Concha Bay. Since the beginning of the century,urban development has invaded several hun-dred meters of the beach and has caused some damage.Wave reflection in the zoneknown as "Solar K",at the western end,provoked the beginning of erosion which subse-quently affected the whole beach.Due to this situation,the Council of San Sebastianand the Coastal Authority asked the CEDEX to study the possibility of nourishing thebeach.
