Abstract
The Four Seasons Resort in Nevis, West Indies suffered significant shoreline damage and loss of property due to storm waves from Hurricane Lenny. This paper presents the subsequent engineering efforts to rebuild the beach and design a shoreline protection system for the resort. These efforts included damage assessment, wave hindcasting, numerical modeling, and physical modeling. The resulting system consisted of a segmented, low-crested breakwater, buried revetments, and a renourished beach. To date, the system has performed according to expectations.
