Sandy Mouth on a misty day

This is a strip of sand below cliffs. Much of the country was basking in sunshine, but this part of the North Cornish coast was misty - it cleared in the afternoon.

Shipwreck remains at Menachurch Point

Walking down the beach in the mist we suddenly came across these rusting iron remains of a ship. As we walked on we saw the prop shaft, then the boiler, laid out along the sand.

Boiler and propeller shaft of wreck, Menachurch Point

This wreck can be seen at very low tides - this was spring tide of a new moon in April. We bought a tide table from the Inn on the Green pub the night before to make sure we would be able to walk from Sandy Mouth to Bude on the beach. Pity about the mist!

Low tide at Sandy Mouth

Low tide was at 14.46 on this day; the picture being taken just two minutes before this time. Ahead stretches the Atlantic Ocean.

The map assigns names to several stretches of sand along here, of which we are approaching Warren Long Beach a little way north of Sandy Mouth Bay.

These colonies of honeycomb worms (Sabellaria alveolata) decorate the tidal rocks along a stretch of the coast here.

Internal structure of a honeycomb worm colony

One of many colonies on the rocks here; this one's suffered a little at the hands of a storm which has broken a large chunk off, exposing the interior. Each tube contains a single worm of the species Sabellaria alveolata, and is roughly 10-12" long. The worm settles into the colony after 5 or 6 weeks as a drifting larva, and then spends the rest of its life filter-feeding from the upper end of the tube (and presumably extending it to solidify the colony)
