Season: winter
A clear blue sky scene played out above the beach, such a difference from a previous mist-shrouded visit to Downderry beach. The rising tide still hadn’t covered the varied geology on the beach, a constant attraction for regular walkers here. This is a fine beach for a constitutional walk, stretching east for miles from here and west towards nearby Seaton. All the facilities that you might want are nearby too.
A place to reflect for Paul.

Season: spring
A high tide was imminent as I approached Downderry beach on a misty morning. Although the recent storms had receded, there was still plenty of flotsam and jetsam to be seen, including a mahogany tree stump, carried in from the west. This is a fine strand for an invigorating walk, leading to the east and Whitsand Bay and west towards Seaton. There’s a sea wall path for when the tide is high. The village of Downderry is conveniently close by.
