a winter storm in Whitsand bay in cornwall uk England Britain UK


Strong gales occur frequently along the Cornish coast in winter and in the past many shipwrecks took place off this east cornwall coast. Today still fragments of old timber wash up on the beach here after such storms and people still call the practice of beachcombing here ‘wrecking’. The beach is at near Plymouth on the SW coast of the UK
