A lovely place for a walk - at low tide. Not so good walking on shingle.

The sad thing is that there is a lovely sandy beach just the other side of that pier. The problem is that the French ferry company has the lease for the harbour area and it considers the condition of the breakwater on the far side to have unsafe surfaces, although it is strong enough to hold the waves away from the harbour entrance. So the lovely sheltered beach is fenced off. All sorts of attempts have been made to persuade them to do the repairs. As the ferry services are heavily subsidized by the French local Department, to encourage tourism to their area, they have the upper hand.
