The objective is to develop a sea defence solution that prevents unacceptable flooding of the hinterland and damage of the Malecón seawall. Implementing the recommended solutions reduces the overtopping sufficiently. Along the entire study area, it is recommended to raise the seawall and to construct a revetment. It was concluded that a curved wall is only useful in combination with a revetment for a small part of the seawall. Both the top part and the seaside face of the Malecón seawall need a structural fortification in order to withstand the design conditions. It is recommended to partly remove the top of the current wall and replace it with a new wall, which is extended in seaward direction. Both for the design storm and for the ultimate limit state, the proposed solution satisfies the strength requirements.
