The recent construction of the black rock breakwaters along the coast at and near to Clacton-on-Sea has radically altered the shape and location of the original sea/beach interface, which used to be generally parallel to the sea defence wall. Here the breakwater top right has created a sweeping bay. The turbines of the Gunfleet Sands Wind Farm are visible out to sea.
