An Afternoon at Seaton Carew Beach

The North East isn't short of beaches, I can tell you that! We're lucky because ours are all sandy and packed with interesting finds. I love to go to the beach, just for a wander, so when I was up North visiting my parents recently, I made a point of going.

We went to Seaton Carew, one of the many beaches on Teesside. It's great as it's cleaned daily and was even granted a "Seaside Award" recently. It's also a regular host to a colony of local seals, you're lucky if you manage to see them during the Summer (I didn't!). Another interesting fact is that there's actually a shipwreck in the intertidal zone there, the type of vessel is a "collier brig" - don't ask me what it means! Apparently the shipwreck is buried under the sand, but when extreme weather occurs, the sand moves and the wreck emerges, I would like to see it one day.

As usual, I took a few photos and have posted them below. The clouds looked quite dramatic in some of the photos.

Gazelles love the beach too.

A gloomy sky over golden sands.

You can see this wind farm from everywhere. This photo also looks old which I think is cool.

Some beach finds.

A picture of serenity.

I really like the bird in the middle of this one!
