Reefs as sea defences
Reefs as sea defences
Nine nearshore reefs were built for the protection of this section of coastline > TG4228 : Man-made reef; extending from North Gap to Sea Palling further in the southeast, four are surface-piercing breakwaters and the other five serve as submerged breakwaters at high tide. Sand builds up on the landward side of these reefs, creating a number of bays.
