Survivors
Since the 1880s the fishing village of Lonstrup has developed into a pleasant seaside town. Its heyday lasted from around 1920s until 1940, when the railway transported thousands of bathers to Lonstrup from surrounding area. At that time the beach was relatively broad, but the sea has gradually eroded the coastline and edged closer and closer to the town, which has resulted in several houses falling into the sea. Following the violent storm in 1981, during which the sea got as far up the shore as the lifeboat building, the coastal protection of Lonstrup began. This altered the nature of the beach. The cliffs became covered in vegetation and there are now large blocks of granite instead of grains of sand.
