Rough seas pounded Marsalforn Bay last night, with the waves crashing over the promenade, causing significant damage.

People on the scene said the road along the beach was impassable as the seas dislodged the promenade's tiling, dragging some of the slabs onto the road. A concrete block holding some of the railings was also overturned.

Residents of Marsalforn have long been calling for a breakwater at the mouth of the bay. The existing breakwater was damaged some years ago.
