Slowly Rotating Sand Dunes
East Head is a spur of sand dunes sticking out in to Chichester Harbour, connected by a thin strip of beach to West Wittering. Over the last couple of hundred years East Head has been rotating clockwise around the point it meets the land, the dunes and grass quietly moving inch by inch to the will of the sea and tide. This National Trust treasure on the south coast reminds me of North Africa, where the Saharan dunes meet the Mediterranean.
