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.

I hope the new defences will hold for a while bur if I had a property there I'd try to sell while I could still get a decent price for it....I recently read about Fairbourne (near Barmouth) where they already set a date to evacuate the inhabitants.

I really like the progression of colours in this image, from the rocks on the beach to the green fields beyond. Ocean encroachment is a worldwide issue it seems.
