If that's what it takes, yeah. The fact is, erosion is never ever going to stop. You can either live with it or slow it down to a manageable level. It may take a lot of money or hard work or both. Some lots are naturally more resistant to erosion, but they likely lack nice beaches. Some nice level lots are perfect for beaches, but you need to expect them to change over time, if left alone. I see all kinds of walls, dams, jetties and such on the shore where erosion would obviously be a problem otherwise; somebody had to build them, and it wasn't free.
