Ilkeston Cam On Holiday 2002 - South West Wales
Part 11 - Saundersfoot When The Tide Goes Out
The photos on this page were taken on Tuesday evening 16th
July
All of the pictures on this page were taken between 7.45pm
and just after 8pm. Judging from the sign on the railings on
the harbour wall, there was still sufficient depth of water in
the harbour at 5pm to enable the fishing boats to dock.
|
A couple of days earlier we had watched a hive of activity here
as these fishing boats were unloaded and their catch being transferred
to lorries on the harbour wall. Tonight though all was peace
and quiet.
|
The receding tide had also left all the pleasure craft high and
dry.
|
Beyond the harbour wall, sand, shingle and an occasional rocky
outcrop are exposed twice a day at low tide as the beach stretches
down to the sea.
|
Pebbles of all shapes and sizes, driftwood, slabs of concrete,
an old crumbling wall, the almost vertical cliff face and a splash
of colour from the wild flowers all add to the different textures
visible from the beach.
|
Monkstone Point lies off in a southerly direction and is approximately
midway between Saundersfoot and Tenby but perhaps just a little
closer to Saundersfoot.
