What is beach erosion caused by?
Beach erosion is as a result of a process known as Long-shore Drift, whereby the sediment is moved along the beach and down the beach by the action of waves. The waves come into the beach from the right, then retreat straight back down the beach, moving sediment in both actions. The result is that beaches become shallower, and move to the left. This is why there are barriers on some beaches. The beaches are sometimes 'stolen', which has a negative effect on tourism, so it is the local authority's responsibility to secure it, even at the expense of some of the beach's natural beauty.
