Fig. 2.40: The big storm of September 1978: around 145 boxes are in picture: 65 at West
Beach, 56 at East Beach, and 24 at Sunrise Beach. Pavilion site stands empty.

Fig. 2.41: The seas ran into the children’s play area, car park and onto the vacant pavilion
site. Many of the original bathing boxes at the ‘Corner’ were destroyed by impacts of waves
approaching from two directions as seen here: those coming in head-on parallel to the shore

and those coming side-on deflecting off the concrete sea-wall.
