6 October 2007 - West Bay

A Saturday afternoon visit. It was surprising how many people were around.

Looking west along the beach towards Thorncombe Beacon and Golden Cap

The West Bay Express restaurant set in two old railway carriages.

The new development alongside the harbour.

The magnificent sandstone cliffs to the east.

A curious juvenile herring gull.

The harbour looking very colourful.

St John’s church.

The recently constructed pier development. Click here for some background and history.

Another view west from the new pier.

The light over the sea was amazing so I indulged myself in some almost monochrome shots.

More shots of the sandstone cliffs.

The new harbour wall.
