The stone outline in the foreground was the end of a long promenade, which extended from the cliffs (part of the wall is still visible on the cliffs, towards the left). Directly above this wall is a small grotto, which is in the process of collapsing, due to erosion. See http://www.francisfrith.com/st-audrie-s-bay/st-audries-beach-and-cliffs-1903_50463 for a 1903 picture of the beach, showing the promenade and the grotto. Also see https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17.7&lat=51.18008&lon=-3.28193&layers=178&b=1 for some old maps of the site; the promenade was labelled 'The Slip'.
