Where stones don't work, they put giant cement castings that look like huge jacks (as in the tiny metal things you spin in a game of jacks).<br /><br />No they don't cover it with sand. Expect a lot more of this as folks try to protect their beaches against the sea rising AND storms that are more violent and more unpredictable.<br /><br />First the native beachfront grasses were trampled and died, thus helping erosion; now the rip rap is needed; soon, there will be no way except to build a dike out in the sea, to hold it back.<br /><br />If you play around on this site,<br /><br /><a href="http://www.californiacoastline.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.californiacoastline.org/</a><br /><br />you can see the history of beach changes.

I don't know when these pictures were made, but there's so doubt comparing picture of the house on this article and the Bing aerial shot that the beaches in the area have eroded and diminished very, very significantly. I'm just amazed even people with money would spend it on a home that could very well be washed away in another few years. <br /><br />http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=pp4vkw52wg8s&lvl=18.48&dir=352.42&sty=b&where1=Broad%20Beach%20Rd%2C%20Malibu%2C%20CA%2090265&form=LMLTCCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-84104103505445278062012-01-01T08:58:31.102-08:002012-01-01T08:58:31.102-08:00Happy New Year Mama and her readers,

They must be just crazy about the area to build this expensive home and then have to put huge rocks to keep the property from washing away. However, let's be realistic. Water will just go under the rocks if it gets high enough. Also, just too congested with no privacy, and I sure hope they put in some grass. It really looks more like a motel on the beach at Panama City Beach, Fl than a home on Malibu.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-84004930896088670202011-12-31T15:45:43.900-08:002011-12-31T15:45:43.900-08:00They must really love Broad Beach.

That unsightly rock pile has to be at least partially obstructing the view, kind of defeating the purpose of owning a home right on the beach, non? I'd prefer a bluff site overlooking the beach any day (go Ellen).<br /><br />Thanks much Mama.angienoreply@blogger.com
