Access to the beach, without eroding the dunes, is afforded by a boardwalk. |
Erosion of the fragile dune system is always a problems. |
The dunes have been conserved by fencing, between the beach and beach road. |

Some fishermen's huts, with associated artefacts, littered about them, make attractive photographs, especially with the clinical lines of the power station in the background. |

The discoloured stream from the outfall tower, bringing cooling water from Sizewell 'A' and 'B'. Not a pretty sight.

Sizewell beach, with the nuclear stations, Sizewell 'A', the large, dirty-grey building, and Sizewell 'B', with a light blue dome and dark blue walls. The beach here is wide at 50 metres and shelves gradually down to high tide level. View is northwards. |
|
Sizewell beach has been treated to fine new toilets, and a revised car park layout. The low timber building in the centre is the cafe, and on the skyline above it are the old coastguard cottages. |
