It’s been lovely ( and a little worrying ) seeing all the photos of high tide today thank you if you shared with us. If there has been any any bad roof felt damage we will try our best to inform the hut owners.

If you see a stranded seal, dolphin, porpoise or whale on our beaches, please follow the following advice:

• Give them plenty of space from yourself, dogs and children
• Keep noise to a minimum
• Remember that psychological stress can be lethal to them and they may bite

After stormy weather and / or high tides, seals will haul out on beaches to rest and regain their strength. Many do not need first aid, but if you suspect the animal may be abandoned, thin, ill or injured, please call British Divers Marine Life Rescue on their 24 hour rescue hotline:
01825 765546
