The continuing increase in beach volume indicated that by January 1999 equilibrium had not been reached. Artificial reefs construction costs are relatively high. As a result, effects on the beaches, both down- and up-drift of the breakwaters, have been considerable. Construction costs of breakwaters are high GBP 40,000 to 100000 (50,000-125,000) but they require low maintenance for these two structures in particular, beach nourishment costs should be added. marinas or groynes, breakwaters and other hard structures. In association with periodic nourishment programmes the scheme has been locally successful in retaining recharged sediment on the beach but the extent of the salients prevents to a great extent the south-eastward littoral drift. Sand dune stabilization is a coastal management practice designed to prevent erosion of sand. Additional data collected by the Environment Agency since 1991 were analysed to investigate beach and bathymetry changes prior to the construction of the breakwaters. To ensure that your vision becomes a reality, The Breakwaters at the Dunes has on-site wedding planners, and rental accommodations for your and your guests. A Geographical Information System (GIS) was used to calculate differential surfaces between surveys in order to investigate local patterns of accretion and erosion and to determine volume changes between consecutive surveys. With a perfect backdrop only steps away from the Sea Isle Beaches, The Breakwaters at the Dunes has options for weddings, rehearsal dinners, birthdays, showers, and corporate events. Beach level changes were monitored during the period from 1995 to 1999. The results presented here span all stages of breakwater construction during Phase 1. In general, to avoid these effects on the coastline, artificial nourishments and/or dune development are often preferable over hard structures such as groynes. Breakwaters are hard engineering however the advantage of this is that it maintains beaches natural appearance and easy to maintain small breakwaters, on the other hand the disadvantages are is hard to maintain large breakwaters, unattractive and does not stop coast being eroded it slows it down.

The structures were built during the first phase of a multi-phase construction programme and are expected to provide long-term protection for Sea Palling and 6000 ha of low-lying land against tidal inundation through the provision of a wide beach in front of the existing seawall and dunes. The effects of four offshore breakwaters built between 19 at Sea Palling, Norfolk, UK, on beach morphology are discussed.
