I was at a coastal science conference a few years ago and a coastal engineer from the west coast of USA showed a similar picture to the lower one you showed, with severe beach erosion. Then he showed pics from a few years later - sand dunes had built up to the point that houses had to be abandoned - filled up with sand. The fact is that sandy coastlines experience terrific changes, as sand moved offshore and back again, and up and down coast, in response to the wave climate. To attribute the changes observed in these two images to global warming and sea level rise is very dishonest, in my opinion. How much has the sea level risen in the last 20 years? Bugger all.
