GEORGE TOWN: A handful of gazebos along the beach in Batu Ferringhi have collapsed, a sign that the erosion is taking its toll on the shoreline.

Traders and massage service providers – some of whom have been operating there for almost 20 years – will have to be relocated to safer ground as the beach is now over a metre lower than how it looked like in pictures from about 10 years ago.
