Like much of the coastal areas of Guyana, Georgetown lies under sea level - it is protected by a seawall which by now does more than just protecting against the Atlantic.
When I approached Georgetown, coming from Berbice in the east, I noticed a colourful wall on the right hand side of the road. It was low, did not seem to end, and was covered in advertisements for hair loss, political slogans, statements, and much more. It was only later that I realized that that was the seawall protecting Georgetown against the Atlantic Ocean. The seawall actually covers the entire northern coast of Guyana, but its most famous part is the stretch around Georgetown. Much of the land here is below sea level; some parts of this area were actually washed away by erosion in the early 19th century.
