SalcombeHigh tide overwhelmed the waterfront at Salcombe in south Devon
Coastal communities have been left flooded in Devon and Cornwall after being hit by dangerously strong winds, large waves and a high tide.
The Environment Agency earlier warned of extreme danger on the coast and issued a severe flood warning.
Looe, Fowey, Newlyn, Porthleven, Mevagissey, Devonport in Plymouth and Kingsbridge are among places flooded.
The agency said beaches, promenades, roads and footpaths would be extremely dangerous.
Geoff Penhaligon, harbourmaster in Looe, said: "There is lots of water in the main street and behind the market it is too deep for a car.

BBC reporter Johnny O'Shea said the sea off Penzance was "incredibly rough, crashing along the sea wall".
Geoff Brown, Cornwall Council's portfolio holder for homes and communities, said: "There's been flooding in Mevagissey, the main road in Fowey and the seafront is closed in Penzance because of the concern of debris being thrown by waves on to the road.
"High water has now passed, so we're hoping the water will recede shortly.
"Clearly there's a severe amount of coastal damage and we need a clear weather window to start repairs."
