Well,Not doubting the erosion factor --that looks really very bad but being the non ocean girl...could it be at different levels of the tide? A nice shot of something not very nice that's happening!
Wait, wait! Things are bad around the globe but not that much... YET! Don't panic! :-) The thing is: the 1st photo shows the erosion made by sea water in winter or when the tides are crazy like they have been this month (2nd photo). Sorry if I made you think sea level was so much higher... That was not my intention... :-) Anyway, as I walk almost everyday by the seashore and know some parts of this coast pretty well, I can garatee you that after every winter I notice new rocks have fallen from the cliffs due to stormy tides!... and that, yes, can be scary when you think what it will be from now on... specially when I hear that another huge iceberg is melting!
The sea level changes here too over the year - at the moment the tides are very low and the reef is exposed at low tide, but in the monsoon time the tides are very high and wash the sand away.
September (the sea is working on it again!)

nice shot !
Stunningly beautiful. I always love the ocean.
Erosion really? Not just higher water levels? Because if it really is erosion, then that's scary. Just a month…

Beautiful photo.
Wow, that's a very dramatic contrast!
You live in a great part of the world. The one time I went to Lisbon I stayed with a friend who was living in Cascais at the time.

Thank you all for your comments.
It amazing how powerful the ocean really is.
