It's feared Stockton Beach is disappearing as big swells erode the shoreline.
Remnants of the former Stockton Colliery were unearthed by the erosion which have since been washed away.
Local surfers say the sand level on parts of the beach have dropped by as much as two metres since the big swell moved in on August 20.
Residents say a permanent solution is needed other wise the beach could simply disappear.
