In 2014, 3 detached breakwaters were implemented at the wave-dominated beach of Le Barcarès, S France, to fight against erosion and submersion hazards. Additionally, beach nourishments are undertaken every summer. Daily video images from Oct 2014 to July 2016 covering an alongshore distance of 1.6 km are used to analyse the response of the shoreline to the structure implementation and to the main forcing factors (SE storms and Tramontane winds). Results show that the breakwaters clearly modified the shoreline shaped by the formation of salient. However, in contrast with the adjacent southern beach, the shoreline is not stabilised and shows rapid short-term variations as well as a great seasonal variability. Nourishment efficiency appears to be clearly linked with the occurrence of storm events that generate a loss of sediment northwards and tramontane winds that favours a southwards sediment transport and an increase of sediment volume in the area.
