About the Black Rock sea wall

We’ve built a new sea wall at Black Rock. This is part of a major project to transform the city’s eastern seafront and enable further development in the future.

The wall provides new sea defences and seating area.

It has also allowed the Black Rock site to be unlocked for future development by removing old underground anchors that intruded into the site.

The wall has been relocated which has enabled the creation of several new areas of internationally rare coastal habitat which flank the new boardwalk, providing a safe, accessible and attractive walk along the beach.
