Storm Benjamin

Storm Benjamin brought strong winds and high waves to our coastline last week, causing some erosion at the western end of the beach near Old Martello Road. We also lost part of the Cooden shingle stockpile, but we plan to move as much as possible next week, weather permitting.

Our team has been working between tides to push up shingle and recycle material where it’s needed most. With tides dropping and winds easing, we’ll continue rebuilding ahead of the big spring tides in early November.

Thank you for your patience as we manage these challenging conditions. Every effort is focused on keeping the beach safe and resilient.
