It said Whiterocks, Portrush East and Portstewart beaches were significantly affected by coastal erosion.

RNLI lifeguard manager Mike Grocott said winter storms had “taken their toll on the make-up of some of the beaches this year”.

He added that “many people returning to these favourite spots may be surprised at how different everything looks”.
