| Description: | Sandwich Bay, about 100 yd. N. of Sandown Castle, Deal. Looking N. 20 degrees W. Shingle beach ridge. A view showing the form of the shingle ridge built up by longshore drift, which now forms the coastline of Sandwich Bay, protecting the alluvial marshland of the Lydden Valley from inundation. The shingle is fairly coarse at this point. The transient storm beaches piled up by recent high seas can be clearly seen on the seaward side. |
