The power of the sea

Abereiddy beach 2 years ago, you can see the wall to hold back the sea and form a car park.



This what the sea did in the storms in early February 2014



Same view in mid January 2015. The National Parks Authority has abandoned the beach, all the steel & wooden frames removed. See the huge rocks piled inland which were part of the sea wall. It is not going to be a popular tourist venue any more
 
Will the village suffer from the lack of visitors,
or will it make things there easier for the
residents, do you think?
 
You are asking about apples and oranges. In Michigan (LOTS of shoreline), residents, even short term ones, rarely care for tourists. Businesses on the other hand, really want those folks to come and spend money. I don't see an issue. Looks like an improvement to me. Don't know if you swim there but the beach is better. Seawalls and steel barriers don't appeal much to me.
 
Take some water; add some wind to make wave action; and you can move just about anything.

Most states on the US eastern seaboard have given up on seawalls. Between nor'easters, hurricanes and rising sea levels, it's a losing battle.

25 years ago I owned a beach cottage on Topsail Island, NC. It was on the third row back from the beach. It's now second row back from the beach.
