The sea defence at Solent Breezes Holiday Village consists of rocks and flint nodules enclosed in metal cages. These absorb the wave energy, protecting the low gravel and sand cliff. The coastline down from the River Hamble (SU4805) is especially prone to erosion. This view shows the mudflats by Solent Breezes slipway, looking towards Fawley Power Station.
