Walk 1- with photos

Looking back towards St.Bees

Wind and tide driven sand often covers the promenade

Take care not to slip

Look for wading birds on the sand

Walk the length of the promenade

Oystercatchers are often seen near the rockpools

Stonework protects the shoreline from the weather and sea.

Leaving the promenade

Head for the steps
