I see s.c. has answered you already. It reminded me at once at our own typical coastal defense in the south part of our country. When the water can go through the posts, the flow is being curbed, but there is no soil washed away.
I do like both views, of course being there is the best of all. The mystery surrounding it probably is listed somewhere, and everyone's guess makes sense, even being an old pier, or dock, as we also have them as well here.
stunning beach shots, we've a place here that has post lines like this, shorter and not anywhere there are waves like this. We were told they had something to do with the now defunct salt mining, I don't imagine this applies here :-).
If the download from clicking on any of the book images below does not work, go to smashwords.com and input the book title in the search bar. There you can download it for free. DO NOT go to Amazon and buy the book. Amazon forces me to set a price.

...there must be an answer ... somewhere
Here in the netherlands it its used to break the current or waves so the sand from the beach is not drifting away. Perhaps here the same.

I thought they might be leftovers from an old pier. Very nice photo.
really neat scene! love both versions! thanks for linking this!
Fantastic shot. My guess was a break water as suggested.
My guess was also old pier. See, you do learn something new everyday.
I like both versions. Actually, I'm surprised that the B&W turned out so well.

Proabaly to keep horses from going up the beach, unless they went swimming. Or a property line?
Wonderful photos!
I love this photo....:)
It just looks like FUN to me.
I just love that it leads to the ocean. My kind of fence.

Wow! What an arresting sight!
Gorgeous find, John.
Peace :)
I've seen them in England too where they are used to stop the sand from being washed away. I love the first pic!
It's a shame that others have enlightened you; I was going to tell you that I've seen the other end of that fence over here in England!
What wonderful photos!
These are wonderful...really like them a lot.
Fabulous images!
