This paper presents the calculations using LITPACK models, aiming to select the restoration solution for Cua Tung beach, severely eroded in recent years. The results are just the preliminary, but they are useful to direct the optimal measures to bring the beach back to its original state serving the social and economic development in Quang Tri province.

In recent years Cua Tung beach is increasingly eroded shrinking its width due to erosion in both scale and intensity which leads to the loss of tourism . Social Economic Development Strategy of Quang Tri province puts tourism as a effective way to bring the province out of poverty and the restoring the Cua Tung beach is an urgent task. Despite the fact that there are several assumptions about the causes of erosion direct and indirect long term and short term there is still not a detailed study which confirms the solid scientific basis and can help for the construction of the project. In 2009 the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Quang Tri province in collaboration with Hanoi University of Science set the research project named Investigation and assessment of beach erosion Cua Tung Quang Tri Province in order to establish the scientific basis to determine the causes of beach erosion and then to find out the solutions to overcome Cua Tung beach erosion.
