The line crosses a vegetated dune which accreted between October 1973 and December 1974. This is in contrast to earlier years. The lack of severe storms combined with a substantial beach probably accounted for the reduced erosion. The beach grew significantly between October and November 1973, though much of the accreted sand was removed by December 1973. A general increase in beach volume occurred during 1974. Beach and bluff are coraposed of predominantly sand, though some gravel was found on foreshore. 77.
