Description
The seafront wall is a Grade II listed structure that stretches almost the entire width of Whitmore Bay. It features six sets of paired step exits that provide access to the beach, along with two additional projecting bays. The wall is constructed from rock-faced stone and is relatively low, with terminating piers and curved copings. At either end of the wall, there are two shelters that rise from its face.
