Boscombe, sand heaps

After long delays, work on the artificial surf reef has resumed. The heaps will be graded (for detail, see [[1302857]]) and pumped out to sea, to be filled into large bags and lowered to the sea bed. In the background to the left, Boscombe Pier; to the right, new flats at "Honeycombe Beach".
