These were the scenes this morning (Monday) as wet weather hit Sidmouth leaving the ford closed.
The bad weather also meant rough seas, with waves leaving pebbles along The Esplanade.
The cliffs at the eastern end of the beach were also battered by the water, with a large section of the cliff seen to be eroded.
