The tide went out a long way on 10th March 2012. A very long way. For the first time ever I was able to see the glory of the hitherto hidden acres of golden-fronded kelps, brown fucoids, and red seaweeds carpeting the rocks at Lyme Regis. Usually when I visit the water is high on the shingle beach but on this occasion I could follow the water as it went out over the sand and rocks to get an entirely new perspective by looking up the shore, to the Cobb, the town, the fossiliferous cliffs of Black Ven and Charmouth to the east, including sight of Golden Cap. I didn’t know it at the time but this was the last time I was going to see the old breakwaters at Church Cliff.

Wow, talk about low tide! So much do we never have here in Sweden. Beautiful pictures you have taken. 🙂

We have some of the most extreme tides in the world, here in the UK, next to the Maritime Provinces in Canada. Tide level varies a lot throughout the year but there are usually a couple associated with the solstices that are bigger than usual – and that is what I think was going on in this instance at Lyme Regis. About every ten years or so there can be a really extreme tidal event – it’s all about the influence of the moon and the topography of the channel.

Thank you, Allison. The very low tide provided an unusual opportunity to view the seafront and shoreline in an interesting way.
