Ways to protect Beaches

1- Sea Walls:

A facility similar in mass retaining walls
The aim of these reinforced concrete blocks to protect the areas left over from the beach and facilities subject to the act of waves and violent currents of water
The disadvantage of this type of protection cost prohibitive.

2-Wave Breakers:

Stones is a large high rock resistance to erosion and corrosion system is stacked above the beach and over the low hills at the beach for protection .
These stones and rock must be of such magnitude that they can not waves or currents of water Mint violent movement or displacement when wave hit it.

3-Bulkheads:
Are also the same function as seawalls. Facilities, but the advantage of relatively lightweight. Where it is a sheet of steel, sometimes of wood Tonic resistant to sea water.

4-Artificial Fills:

Some are converted to the coast to the shores of a small scale industry. And that covered with layers of sand and gravel. Which can protect the work of the sidewalks in front to protect it from transportation and movement by waves.
