		... wooden divisions that line beaches? I've had a mental block!
 
  
 
 Thanks in advance.

		| Thanks for that! It's kind of a relief, but I remember them as being called something else from my childhood - I've no idea what now though. |

 Breakwaters - that's the one I recall!!! You're a star sir.
 
 But it looks like they're called groynes too - if you search for them on Google image search anyway, which also throws up the rocks you mentioned.
 
 Edit: thanks also to those who bothered responding to such a banal request.  : )
