Longshore drift moving the shingle strongly to the North at the Naze, with 1-1.5 metres between the beach levels. Some old wooden posts create their own beach features. |

Groynes and beach material, with the High Speed Ferry coming out of Felixstowe in the background. |
The steps to the Tower and cafe are separated from the cliff face by the brambles on the right. |
Beach levels have fallen far enough to allow wave action to erode the lower groyne timbers. |

More detail from the Red Crag, with frost wedging and possibly cryoturbation in places, and the free face details of the cliff that is backing steadily towards the cafe. |

At the seaward end of the flows the mobile material spills over the beach before being eroded back to new mini-cliffs by successive high tides. |

On the left the underlying clay can be seen to extend at least halfway up the cliff; the red crag spills over it and cannot hold the clay's steeper angle of repose.
The gully on the right, caused by mobile material flowing away from a cliff fall, resembles a lava flow! |
