High tides and strong winds combined to give Burnham a battering on Thursday morning.
The town’s flood gates at the top of the jetty and Maddock’s Slade were closed by the Environment Agency as a precuation.
Big waves hit the walls of properties near Atlanta Quay, as pictured, and further along the coast the dunes were cut back in several places near the lighthouse.
With more stormy weather predicted for coming days, these scenes are likely to repeated throughout the week. This week’s Spring tides are among the highest of the year.
