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.

It does seem to be a world wide problem George unfortunately. I cliffs in West Bay have been unstable for a long time...I wouldn't walk under them!! Many thanks for your kind comments.
