Covehithe Beach, Sandy beach near Suffolk, England
The beach extends along golden cliffs with a wide shoreline where fallen trees create natural sculptures against the North Sea backdrop.
The medieval village of Covehithe faced continuous coastal erosion since the 17th century, leading to significant land loss and changes in local geography.
The beach serves as a natural film location, featuring in adaptations of literary works including the movie version of Charles Dickens' David Copperfield.
Access requires walking through fields along a designated footpath from the village, as no direct parking or facilities exist at the beach.
Tree trunks scattered across the beach originate from the eroded cliffs above, creating an outdoor gallery of natural wooden formations.
