Further site considerations regarding the line of high rise buildings along Le Touquet's seafront that currently act as an edge, defining a clear separation between the main town and the beach. Built in the 1980's to accommodate visitors as part of an overall leisure tourist orientated masterplan they maximise sea views but present an overbearing blank facade to the town. This could be one of the reasons the beach front feels neglected and separated from the centre of Le Touquet and as such the removal or modification of this strip of buildings may help to reverse this effect. On the other hand this is unlikely to be the sole reason for people not frequenting the beach and other factors such as providing focal points, easy access, varying activities and improved transport links should also be taken into consideration.
