Sorry, my post might have sounded a bit off, it wasn't meant to be.
Goats?

I now know a bit more of what has happened.
The groins have not gone, they have been filled in, sand was used to back fill the beach around the groin area to raise the beach to required height and the pebble were replaced, back on top of the sand.
The pebbles were then washed away by the first easterly gale that we had last week.

I happily accept what you say Gary. Even though the notion that pebbles could go and the sand remain is puzzling.
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

It certainly looks odd, when I was working in Portland & Weymouth this year I was amazed at the constant work the local councils put in on the upkeep of building up Chesil beach to protect Portland
