The optimal design for coastal protection in tourism-reliant communities is a recurve wall, which balances wave reduction and ocean view preservation.
When a community's economy relies heavily on tourism, the best design to break or block waves without impacting the ocean view is a recurve wall. This structure effectively reduces wave energy, protecting the shoreline, while still allowing for an unobstructed ocean view. On the other hand, seawalls and levees may block the view and impact beach aesthetics.
