Along your walk from the estate entrance, starting at the 'Watering House', to the final resting point at the station café you will pass and maybe stop awhile at the life boat station (open to the public most days), at the local smoked fish purveyor, Derek Jarmans garden, the fresh fish - straight off the boat - house, the bait shop, the art gallery, the local pub - the Britannia (good food) and the 'Round House' - the original base of the 18th Century lighthouse.

 
And the beach is also the birthplace of the world famous (if you are a beach fisherman) 'Zziplex' fishing rods  (Links) .

Next to the lifeboat station you will see one of the original Tan Coppers which, in years gone by, were used for 'tanning' the fishing nets. Before the advent of monofilaments and oil based 'ropes' fishing nets, left in their untreated stated would soon rot - hence the dip in 'Kutch'.



This tanning of the nets became a ritual and their were special 'Tanning Days' when all the new nets and fishing smocks all went into the coppers. From the 1920's nets were supplied pre-treated and so the 'Tanning Day' died a natural death. We used to have a 'May Day' 'open day' on the beach - but it always rains on Mayday - maybe there Tanning Day could be resurrected!!!
