Three Gold Coast beaches have been closed as heavy swells have washed away large tracts of sand leaving dangerous three-metre scarps in the worst affected areas. <\/p>\n
Nobby Beach, Broadbeach (at Margaret Avenue) and Narrowneck (at Breakers Street, Main Beach) have been closed and cordoned off by Gold Coast City Council. <\/p>\n
\"Walking between Miami and Broadbeach and between Surfers and Main Beach is not recommended this morning on the incoming tide due to erosion in some areas,\" a council spokeswoman said. <\/p>\n

The lifeguard tower at Nobby Beach had to be relocated yesterday, after its foundations were exposed by the erosion. <\/p>\n
Crews will undertake beach re-profiling works from 7am today. <\/p>\n
Gold Coast chief lifeguard Warren Young said large, relentless swells were responsible for the erosion. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
