Lome's only source of sand for building comes from the beach. Every day, hundreds of rusty sand trucks drive past the port, dripping sea-water, heading for building sites across the city and into the countryside. Long shore drift is continually dumping sand on this stretch of beach, and the miners are actually helping prevent the entrance of the port from silting over, apparently. Click on photo to enlarge. How many sand trucks can you see? Photo taken from Deck 8. Olly
