Description I took these photos at about 12.30 today. There are 3 of the usual sites plus one from Inlet Crescent looking out through the mouth. I didn't walk down to the Inlet to check there was no water running out on the lighthouse side, but i asked some people who had just walked up and they said there was no channel going out, but they thought the sea maybe running over the berm, so dare I ask, is that perched or not?!!!!

In addiction I took a zoom photo of the Fairhaven side sand dune where several people were sliding etc. I will speak to Gorcc and send them the photo as well as to you, and ask that they could fence it off,as high priority. It is in their Management plan to do so.
