Below the grassy slopes of Tankerton, east of the harbour, low tide uncovers The Street, a shingle ridge that runs out into the sea for nearly a kilometre. You walk along it with water on both sides, a rare experience. Nobody quite knows its origin.
It is free, but check the tide table first: it can only be crossed for an hour or two either side of low water, and the tide comes in fast, with a current, on both sides. The RNLI has had to rescue people: head back in good time.
