Rocks at Low Tide

This square just avoids being in the All At Sea category with a small area of weed covered rock getting exposed at low tide. At high tide it's only the beacon at the end of the nearby slipway that isn't under water.

White Rocks, Green Weed

These strange rounded chalk boulders topped with soft green seaweed emerge at low tide. Some of them definitely resemble dummy heads wearing green wigs.

Hard, Broadstairs Harbour

There is a very small harbour here, for small boats only, consisting of a short harbour arm protecting a patch of beach that dries out, with this ramp projecting from the outer side of the arm. This allows small boats to come alongside at lower states of the tide.
