240 Steps Of Sand

At the top of the beach here, it is shingle. At high tide, you can’t see any sand at all on the beach in front of our house, although you can if you walk 400 metres to the right.

The upper picture above was taken at high tide, and the lower picture at low tide. The breakwater you can hopefully make out in the top right corner of the low tide picture is the same one you can see in the high tide picture. I counted 240 paces of sand, from the edge of the shingle at high tide to where the waves were lapping at low tide. That’s a lot of sand!

The low tide picture was numbered “911” by my camera. I wonder if that means anything?

Both pictures get bigger if you click on them.

Cheers, Tom.

Thanks, I wanted to give an impression of the size of the beach. I think it worked.

Cheers, Tom.
