By the Mabel Greville breakwater a winter quit has descended over a busy holiday area. Sand movement, shingle and seaweed strand lines all show well in this winter scene.

A drainage cover in the foreground, a quiet view of the managed cliffs at Walton. |

To the north of the cliffs at Walton, a lagoon has formed between the beach and the sea wall on the left. Its size varies, this being the largest I have seen it. |
The last of the beach nourishment from dredging at Harwich, being eaten away at the low cliff .. about 0.75 metres.
|
A little beach and some marram grass remain |
