    the planned houses & apartments are all behind the harbour though, aren't they? - the bit that's currently disintegrating is where the public park is supposed to go.

    Wellies, or even better, waders will be more useful :D

    From the harbour up to approx. the old gap bridge is the site; that is everything behind the green fence. That is the part receiving King Canute's emergency sticking plaster solution.
    Everything from the old gap bridge towards Bray head is being allowed to disintegrate. That is "the linear park".

    The northern end of the site is not protected by breakwaters and with a bad northerly storm the site could be inundated by the sea through this vulnerable area.

    Will be interesting to see impact of today's strong easterlies on North Beach. My guess is that we will see significant 'cliffing'. Hope I'm proved wrong because if cliffing evident we can then we safely say the North Beach between the gap bridge and harbour is lost for ever as amenity.
