On Monday morning, there was evidence of numerous trees that had slumped into the sea as the already fragile coastal dune front suffered further collapse.
The beach itself, despite tonnes of replenishment dredge spoil having been pumped in over the past months, was again stripped of sand, exposing old cables and pipes, and shifting the heavy sandbags that form part of the geobag defensive wall.
Dune collapse also saw concrete waste bins and other items sacrificed to the relentless ocean waves.
There was drama on Friday afternoon when a young woman attempting to collect sea water at Newark beach ended up on the dolosse but escaped serious injury as lifeguards intervened.
