Seaburn Beach, Sunderland
Sunderland has some fantastic beaches which have consistently been awarded Blue Flag status.
Lovely stretches of sand divided up into areas where dogs are welcome and other areas where restriction are in place during the main summer season.
Those who like to explore rockpools at low tide are also catered for with areas ideally suited to that particular pass time.
Yesterday though, there was a whole different area to explore, one that is normally hidden from view.
It was the lowest tide of the year and the sea level dipped well below its usual low tide level.
This really low tide revealed some of the luxuriant offshore kelp beds that are not normally seen.
