It was a very stormy day but since it was so late in the year we wanted to do a survey while the tide was low, regardless of the weather. There was one place where there was recent erosion of the cliff.

We have noticed that during the winter storms the sand on the beach moves (presumably offshore) and then is redeposited during spring.
