Sea defences.
The arms of rock boulders act as a barrier to the eastward drift of the shingle. In early spring each year, trapped shingle which has built up to the right of this arm is transported westward in huge quantities for the cycle to start over again. In my ignorance, I was very sceptical that this would be successful but in fact it works very well and attractive bays have been created, ideal for safe bathing.
