The Martello Tower and buildings at Felixstowe Ferry. The gold course
lines the area between the shoreline and Cliff Road. The River Deben
fringes the right of the shot, and is marked by an embankment.

Groynes and stepped sea
defences line the shore below cliff road. A useful car park marks the
horizon of this shot. |
A ness feature protrudes beyond
the sea wall, guarding the first of two Martello Towers on this section of
coastline. The foreground reveals rip-rap and some beach seeding.
|
The ness feature is stable
enough to be largely vegetated.

A yacht takes the full force of
a SW gale as it emerges from the Deben. The shore here is coming under
pressure from a growing offshore bar. River water is funnelled along the
shore line, eroding it.
|
The Yacht Club clubhouse is on
the left, and the shoreline has been reinforced by flexible concrete
segments, each about the size of a brick.

The extension of the River Deben
spit can be seen here building up in front of the promenade. |

Views towards Bawdsey Manor
contain, at this state of the tide, more land than sea, such is the size of
the shingle banks on both banks of the Deben. |

The River Deben has swung into
the southern shore, eroding it back to its footpath and sea defences; this
has necessitated putting in rip rap, and reinforcing the bank behind it ..
.although there is some loss of shingle down between the boulders. |

Backwaters behind the new
shingle bank are filling up with sediment and some vegetation, as succession
is initiated. |

At the ferry itself a bitter
wind ensures there is minimal activity. |

The old groynes are being
engulfed by the growing spit. Will it continue to grow, or will it
wither away as sea conditions change? |
