A behind the scenes look at Southsea’s evolving coastline
Over the last few months, the Southsea Coastal Scheme team has been hard at work importing over a million tonnes of shingle to create Southsea’s new beach.
This isn’t just a visual transformation; it’s a natural coastal defence designed to protect the community.
Watch the video to see:
- Why the beach recharge is essential to the area’s long‑term sea defences
- How the team carefully shaped and built the new beach
- A first glimpse of the finished coastline for the community to enjoy.
This project is a powerful example of engineering, environmental care and community protection coming together.
