Massive storm surge rips away beach huts as waves hammer tourist hotspot

Beach huts and benches were swept up by powerful waves as Storm Pierrick hammered the coast of Falmouth, southwest England, on Monday, April 8.

This footage from Falmouth resident Laura Talbot shows large waves breaking over a promenade and damaging some of the huts at Castle Beach.

The owners of the Castle Beach Cafe said three of their beach huts were lost while a seating shelter and several benches were badly damaged.

The dangerous conditions were worsened by high spring tides, according to the Met Office
