Donkeys on a Norfolk beach
Changing views
Track the changes to our seaside and compare the past and present with
postcards from the past.
Power from the waves
If we don't want nuclear and can't have oil, will the resources of the coast keep us
plugged in?
Teeming with life
Rock pools and wet sand provide support and cover for any number of creatures and plants. Discover
life on the beach.
