Improvements have been made to the beach footpath at Esk Road in Montrose after erosion previously washed the route away.
The adverse weather and rising sea levels over the festive season affected the route which is close to the main railway track.
Angus Council closed the route due to safety concerns in January but the local authority has now completed its repair.
Residents previously raised concerns that people were being put off using the area due to safety fears.
Montrose resident Janet Cowan, who lives near Esk Road, had been campaigning for improvements to be made to the area since its closure.
She said: “There was a danger you could fall in a steep drop on the nearby rocks because the path was extremely dangerous.
“I’m delighted Angus Council has completed the works. The weather previously held this back. My only concern is the damage will continue to be caused to parts of the beach such as the path.”
Geddes Contractors Ltd was hired to transport tonnes of sand to areas of Montrose beach which are under threat from flooding and erosion.
New protective fencing has also been set up around Montrose Golf Links to prevent future damage to the course as part of the £22,000 scheme.
Last year updated plans to protect Montrose Beach from erosion by the North Sea were revealed to councillors.
The project aims to slow the rate of erosion in the beach’s dune system by increasing the height of the upper beach.
This reduces the susceptibility of the dunes from waves. Coastal storms in December 2012 caused significant damage to the sand fencing, which was subsequently re-erected.
Dundee University will continue to monitor the beach on a regular basis during the project and after major storm events.
Coastal erosion has had a very adverse effect on the beach and has meant the loss of some of its classic and historic golf course.
