Sandbanks Peninsular Socks

Description: The Sandbanks Peninsular is a narrow spit of land about 1 km square, extending into the mouth of Poole Harbour (Dorset, England). Here you can catch the chain ferry across to Studland, dip your toes in the water on a glorious sandy beach, cast a line into the sea for the 'catch of the day', watch the boats entering and leaving the harbour, and dream that you could afford to live here! This shot was taken on 8th October 2026, with the beach almost deserted (I prefer to avoid the place during the summer months). The Haven Hotel (top left of shot) was built in 1887 on the site of the long gone North Haven Inn. Plans have been submitted to redevelop the site more recently, but thankfully these have so far been quashed.
