A peaceful harbour scene captured at West Bay, Bridport at a time when covid restrictions had been eased, although safe distancing rules were still in effect.
In January this year, however, this scene would have been considerably different as violent storms reshaped the coastline and a large sandbar appeared restricting harbour access. Work began quickly to remove the sand which was subsequently used to replenish sand on the East beach.

West Bay, once named Bridport Harbour is a harbour and small resort situated at the mouth of the river Brit and is known as the Golden Gateway to the Jurassic Coast.
Many people will recognise the beaches and cliffs from the tv series Broadchurch.
It was also the setting for the series Harbour Lights.

I have added a song called 'Fact-Fiction by Mads Langer as a nod to the real life issues of this working harbour alongside the 'fiction' of the programmes set here.
