A beach groyne works when you put a groyne on the water (usually made of timber, bamboo, or other materials), the only source for a groyne is so that the whole beach/island doesn't "wash away" and all of it's sand get washed off into the ocean.

How do seashells get on the beach?
The pebbles are flint deposited in the chalk cliffs adjacent to Brighton. Through natural erosion the flints are released from the cliffs and slowly make their way through natural process to Brighton where the groynes are in place to "capture" the pebbles. You can see this in action as you can see a higher level of pebbles to the west of a groyne than on the easterly side.
