Aftermath of the Storm

The recent storm nicknamed 'the beast from the east' has caused further damage to the Lower Largo pier. The end of the pier has now disappeared, leaving only a mass of boulders.

 The east side of the pier has also suffered further damage.

 The easterly gales also drove a mass of seaweed onto the beach.
