Blackpool Sands, Dartmouth

Blackpool Sands is a gravel beach near Dartmouth, Devon, England named after the nearby village of Blackpool. It has been increasingly encroached on each year since 1933. In 1989 the sea broke the defences, severely damaging seaside properties and threatening the A379 road.
