Stunning drone photos show crashing waves battering the threatened coastline at high tide in Hemsby.
Images taken yesterday by Luke Norton of Ln Drone Photography show the extent to which the Marrams Cliffs and other stretches of the coast are being impacted by erosion.
Just last week around two metres of dunes by the Gap collapsed during the high tide and strong winds on Wednesday, October 2.
The slipway has been washed away and there is currently a drop of approximately five feet down to the shore and the lifeboat there is unable to operate.

Two weeks on the situation has not yet been resolved.
A statement from the Hemsby Lifeboat team said: "Due to the ongoing erosion issues at Hemsby Gap, we are sorry to let you know that our Inshore Lifeboat (ILB) is still unable to launch.
"Despite these significant challenges and the continued absence of external assistance from the authorities, our dedicated crew is working hard to find a solution.
"We are determined to get the boat back on full active service as soon as possible.
"While we fully acknowledge that any action we take will only provide a temporary fix, it is our duty to do everything within our power to ensure the continued operational status of Hemsby Lifeboat.
"It is simply unacceptable to us to be 'off service' when lives could be at risk. Our primary mission is to rescue those in peril, and we remain committed to fulfilling that role.

"In addition, this temporary fix will also ensure that members of the public can continue to gain safe access to the beach from Hemsby Gap.
"Please be assured that our Broads Rescue Unit remains fully operational and available for emergencies."
The tide has washed some more sand back onto the beach but it is still not yet known when the boat will be back in action.
MP Rupert Lowe has been chasing the minister, Emma Hardy MP, who is responsible for coastal defences, for answers on getting Hemsby protection.
He says he will communicate with her daily until he gets answers.
