Gorleston Beach

I took these pictures today to show my Brother in Law who used to be a lifeguard on Gorleston beach but now lives in Newquay - well he would !

When he was up at Christmas I suggested we took the dogs on the beach and he said we need to look at the tides as at high tide there is NO beach. It was a few years since he left the area and was surprised how far the beach now stretches. I told him that the the breakwater know locally as the "Keep Off "is now in very shallow water - in his day people used to bomb off that!

Well this is the scene with still an hour to run before low tide. I know the tide is lower than prediction but I guess the outer harbour has done something for the local community after all

I have fished the beach near the wreck for years,it seems since the out harbour was built,the sand is being shifted into the corner causing the build up of sand .
