A storm in the early 60s left a hole in front of the Beach Hotel you could lose a car in. I lived at Overcliff Guest House at the time and we could see the spray from waves as high as St Michael's flag staff atop the tower.

The storm caused damage locally, including sinking a number of boats, destroying beach huts and damaging roads
