Freshwater Bay is a pleasant spot on a hot day in High Summer. South-facing and tucked away in the south-west corner of the island. Isle of Wight, near "The Needles," and Yarmouth.
Commentary.
These chalk cliffs are, of course, an iconic
symbol of England’s Channel coastline,
running for 150 miles, or so,
from Beachy Head to Weymouth.
It is submarine in the English Channel
and then re-appears in Old Harry’s
Rocks and the Purbeck Hills, westwards.
Freshwater Bay is a classic site where the sea erodes the
Cretaceous chalk forming dramatic
coves, cliffs, caves, and stacks.
Azure skies and blinding white rock
create turquoise seas with an emerald green back-cloth.
Truly photogenic, to the nth. degree.
