High spring tides this week inflicted further damage to the coastal dune front northwards from Alkantstrand in Richards Bay. Big seas from last Friday to Monday once again saw trees and vegetation plummet down the slopes onto the beach, and sucked into the ocean from where it was carried out to sea.
Richards Bay residents Peter and Charlene Wroe-street watched a mini landslide during a beach walk from Alkantstrand to beyond the wooden steps of the caravan park.
‘We had just rounded the corner when we heard, then looked up to see, sand and trees tumbling down from the top of the dunes,’ said Charlene, who expressed concern that similar falls could bury unwary anglers or walkers along the beach.
She took this video just moments later and it was sent to environmental scientist Dr Alan Smith, research associate at UKZN and director of Alan Smith Consulting.
