Sand movement has changed the layout of Yallingup Beach in recent years. Winter storms and high tides have gouged sand from the main beach in front of the lagoon. Changes to storm water outlets from Yallingup hill may have also contributed to the changes in sand movement.
This is a collection of 1950s and 1960s images matched against recent images of Yallingup Beach. I have tried to match the locations of images for comparison purposes.
