coastal scenery

A little section of the Kent coast in south-east England has a magical little secret. At low tide off a beach in the charming resort of Whitstable, a shelf of pebbles slowly reveals itself, creating a pathway that leads out to sea. The urge to take a walk along ‘the street’ is irresistible, and visitors to this part of the seaside enjoy it in their droves.

It is a photographic gift to capture as it slowly grows and alters its shape. I was lucky enough to see it from a nearby beach house where friends exchanged their marriage vows, adding to a memorable occasion.

This is the story of two resorts on the Dorset coast in the south of England. Bournemouth and Boscombe are neighbours. They both have piers that jut out into the sea.

You can easily walk between the two piers – in both directions – or even take a shuttle that looks like a miniature train if your legs can’t take the strain.

Along the route there is the beach, the sea and steep cliff paths. At the top you can see the Isle of Wight. Even on a winter’s day, the walk is invigorating and an enlivening escape from London.

This is a place to take photographs, from the architecture of the piers to the coastal scenery. Take the walk if you ever get the chance – and don’t forget your camera.
