This remarkable stretch of coast encompasses both a championship golf course and one of England's most important nature reserves, where vast sand dunes and salt marshes create a landscape that feels almost otherworldly in its wild, undeveloped state. The bay attracts serious birdwatchers, golfers, and anyone seeking to experience the coast in its most natural form, with miles of empty beaches backed by shifting dunes where rare plants and wildlife thrive in the harsh coastal environment.
