Revetments to the north of the steel beach access at Happisburgh; the damage to these structures accumulates. |
The beach below the public car park will soon claim another structure. |
Sad remnants of the old revetments. |

The dislodged and broken concrete defences lie at odd angles with the twisted steelwork from the revetments. |

Little remains of the previous defences; even the steel piling is being twisted and eaten away. |

A beach of fine sand has developed behind the line of rip rap, but these boulders were too few and at too low a level to restrain the erosion. |

Some further views of the defences, looking towards the reefs at Sea Palling (centre) and the wasteland of agonised steel on the right. |

The most effective barrier to the sea continues to be the hoard of buried scaffolding poles that, with a few boulders, defy the waves. |

Two views of the scaffolding headland, at the southern end of Happisburgh Beach, and a shot across the inlet towards the north and the remaining cliff top structures next to the car park. |

From the outcrop you can see the 'at-risk' properties from the guest house to the car park. A brick tank has been exposed in the cliffs ... and can be seen from the beach and along the cliff. |
