The original groyne is shown on the 1867 plan as a straight line. By 1883 the Commissioners were forming the southern wave trap at its western end thus giving it its present cranked shape.

The outer faces of the groyne are of large roughly dressed stone, the upper surface now a mixture of concrete slabs, asphalt etc.
