SAFET Y BY THE SEASIDE
We’ve not named our location on the coast of North Cornwall, as you need to know the place well to understand its dangers. New visitors are often easily cut off on the narrow beach by the fast rising waters, and too many people have to be rescued each year. So, ensure you’re careful when shooting by the sea, choose a safe place with lifeguards on duty, and know the exact low tide and high tide times. Don’t take any risks clambering on rocks to access beaches, or heading to beaches at low tide, only to get stuck as the tide suddenly rises. Our location has the added challenge that low tides vary, and it’s only around every two weeks that there’s a spring tide when the tide is at its lowest, and the sea recedes about 200m further to reveal a much larger expanse of sand! Spring tides are when the sun, moon and Earth are in alignment (when there’s a new or full moon), so you get the lowest low tides and the highest high tides.
