Beach with gyrones or Groin Whitstable Kent UK
natural defence is a beach which efficiently absorbs the energy of the waves. Along many coasts erosion of the land behind becomes a problem. Groynes are designed to slow down longshore drift and build up the beach. They are usually made of tropical hardwoods which are more resistant to marine borers and erosion. They are built at right angles to the shore and spaced about 50-100 metres
