Beach and Cliffs at Double Gates

There is now very little land apart from beach left in TA2050. This is the extreme south west of the square.

Double Gates

Looking down the sailing club slipway to the area of beach known as Double Gates, although not much beach is visible at high tide! I assume the name comes from the open gates at the bottom of the slip, and the closed gates at the top of the slip, just behind the photographer position.

Looking north from the clifftop adjacent to the sailing club slipway at Double Gates, the soft nature of the cliffs can be seen. The section at centre right has been undermined and seems about to collapse onto the beach.

Several craft had been towed by tractor to the water, hence the tyre marks. The large stone blocks are an attempt to delay the erosion of the clay cliffs.
