Lepe Beach was battered by Storm Pierrick on April 9, causing significant damage.
Access was restricted to visitors last week while repair works got underway, but a section of the beach remains closed nearly one week on.
Announcing the news, Lepe Country Park said: “Due to the damage caused by the April 9 storm, the D-Day end of the beach is presently dangerous and as such unsafe for public access.
“Thank you for everyone for understanding and being patient with us while the work continues – as ever please come and find us in the Lookout should you have any questions.”

The record high tides hit the beach on Monday night and the early hours of Tuesday morning last week.
A full assessment of the area was carried out by the team last week.
It is not known when the D-Day section of the beach will reopen at this time.
