A view of Hornsea beach. Notice three examples of coastal protection in the photograph (wooden groynes protecting the sand from longshore drift, the sea wall and the boulders). A groyne on Hornsea beach. Notice how the level of the sand on the left is higher than the sand on the right. This is because the sand is moving from the north to the south (left to right on this photograph). You can see the angle that the sea approaches the beach in the photograph. The sand on the left is trapped by the groyne. Over on the right the sand has been removed by longshore drift. The sea wall at Hornsea. View of the caravan from Hornsea beach.
