Quiet evening walk at low tide, love looking for standout shapes from sea to shore and sky.
Westward Ho! celebrates its 21st year as a Blue Flag beach, two miles of golden sand popular all year round with surfers, kyakers, supboarders, kitesurfers, windsurfers. I have been photographing this beach for well over twenty years, I love the changing light, reflections, cloud formations and of course any water sports activity, beachwalking silhouettes or beachcombing finds. The shots are from the naturally formed Pebbleridge to the Atlantic Ocean Saturday 13 July. (See video below)
The Pebbleridge is formed when debris from rock falls further up the North Devon Coast is washed ashore at Westward Ho! Boulders, cobbles and pebbles are pounded by the awesome power of the waves and flung back on the beach. You can see the different colours and textures of the rock which form the ridge. The huge rocks by the slipway have to be returned or replaced when huge Spring tides and Winter storms reek havoc on this part of the coast.
