Dist:0.6km<br/>Nearly got caught out here as what was beach was suddenly filled with the onrushing tide. The eroded bases of former sandstone cliffs at low tide taken in the pouring rain with the wind blowing directly in my face.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Between the photographer and rocks is pretty much most all of this grid square which is not at sea. The rocks are the bases of long eroded sandstone cliffs.

Dist:0.6km<br/>There are two lines of rocks heading out to sea in this grid square, this is the more westerly of the two and also one more favoured by shellfish. Taken at low tide in wet and windy weather.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Close up view of the rocks with their miniature canyons and gullies. These are the remains of the sandstone cliffs that once sheltered Bulverhythe's harbour.

Dist:0.8km<br/>The wreck of the Amsterdam, visible only on certain spring tides. The ship ran aground here 26th January 1749 after an eventful maiden voyage that left most crew dead or dying of fever, or dead drunk following a mutiny. A cargo of silver bullion and fine wines inspired widespread looting, with one local man shot dead in the process. Most of the ship is well preserved beneath the clay beach.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Next to the footbridge over the railway looking down to the shingle and sand at low tide. The shot was taken whilst pouring down with rain and having a very strong southerly wind blowing straight at me.
