Landscape View of the Beach at Northam Burrows With the Pebble Ridge and People Enjoying the Late Spring Sunshine.

---

Typical early spring view of the beach at Northam Burrows on a sunny day. Detail of the pebble ridge and wide beach at low tide. Local people enjoy the wide space and life guarded safety before the summer rush. The pebble ridge protects the lower land behind from flooding. The pebbles are transported here from as far away as Hartland Point by a process known as ‘long shore drift’.
