I was planning on going somewhere else but the weatherman said that it would be best in the south west of the country so that's where I headed.
I remembered that there were some impressive bays heading for the Mull of Galloway so I went looking for them.
As usual (for some odd reason) I'm visiting the coast at low tide.

| Portpatrick |

| Sandhead Bay. I'm standing where the seaweed finishes so the tide goes out a long way here. |

| Drumantrae Bay |
 |
| New England Bay. I can't find the reason for the name. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the USA. |

| I brought some lunch and the bay made a pleasant setting for lunch |

| Luce Bay |
The bays are really pretty. I was surprised at how far the tide goes out at Sandhead Bay.
ReplyDeleteThe tidal range there is 5-6 metres which I think is a lot. I ride to this area maybe four times a year and I always seem to be there at low tide!
DeleteMorecombe in north west England is known for its big tidal range (10m) with the tide going out 12km (8 miles) At low tide you can be on the beach and not be able to see the sea!
