Benches along Marine Drive have been wrecked by the power of the waves crashing onto the carriageway overnight.
The Yorkshire Coast is currently being battered by storm Babet, with heavy rain and strong winds forecast for the rest of the day and only slowly easing into Saturday.
There are two weather warnings in force. One is for rain with up to 80mm of rain possible on the North York Moors as two bands of rain collide over the area today.
The other is for strong winds and is in force from midday today until midday tomorrow. 60mph gusts are possible.
Dangerous waves are crashing onto promenades as people are warned to keep a safe distance.
Michael Bayes has sent This Is The Coast this video from North Bay Scarborough this morning:
There has been some damage along seafronts locally, with some benches ruined by the force of the sea coming onto the roads.
Marine Drive in Scarborough remains closed this morning.
The B1261 at Killerby is blocked by a fallen tree. Paddy took this call a short time ago:
We have regular weather and travel updates on air.
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
