An enormous length of beach with a thin set of dunes behind. Only the dunes to the north and south of the car park
at Q752223 as the visit was curtailed by a vicious storm. However the dunes to the north of the car park were a
dense thick thatch of marram and grass through which nothing could fruit. To the south, cattle grazing had created
more open areas of dune grassland which were more interesting but apart from large quantities of Hygrocybe
virginea and Geoglossum cookeanum, there was little fungal diversity found in these dunes.
