It cost Hono Koa about $1 million to build a retaining wall very deep and thick, to keep the water for continually eroding the old rock wall that held up for many years. We are just a small resort of 27 units, and the overall cost to each week owner was $500 total. We own 3 weeks so paid $1,500 total for the wall. Worth the cost and we watched it being constructed and talked to the engineer in charge of the construction. He said the wall will never give out. I believed him after seeing the depth and width of it.
So I am saying I absolutely agree that $10 million is nothing to replace that sand. I am sure there are implications for removing sand from one place and putting it elsewhere, however.
Our situation was very different in that Hono Koa is 40 feet to the water and would suffer structural damage that would be devastating to owners.
