West Bay ~ Sea Defence Work.

West Bay ~ Sea Defence Work.
The beach defences protect 148 residential properties, 112 commercial properties and caravans.Waves over-topping the Esplanade at West Beach caused significant flooding of properties and utilities in 2014. Each winter, stormy seas damage East Beach. To address this, a more robust defence against flooding and risk of breaching is needed. Large stones were delivered by barges to the beaches in April with a lot of spectator interest.

Anyone thinking of visiting West Bay, there is a lot to see and do despite the work, which in itself is very interesting.

Interesting to see. The village I used to live in had sea defences like this built a few years ago and Kirkcaldy esplanade has been renewed but it will be impossible to do this everywhere. I think some of the fishing villages on the Forth will suffer.

It is a big problem Jean and I wish there was a perfect solution. That is sad when the problem is merely moved to another nearby part of the coastline.
