Recordist's notes
The rocky bay is less sheltered against the prevailing winds, the jagged rocks disrupt the incoming waves that are becoming more forceful with the rising tide. The temperature is dropping with the light as dusk closes in. Between the rocky bay and the sandy bay is a long pier from which porpoises can sometimes be seen.
