Newgale

Like many other Pembrokeshire beaches Newgale has ‘lost’ much of it’s sand. Yesterday from one end to the other are stones and washed up Soft Shelled clams, Queen Cockles and, Razor fish. Massive losses to these colonies probably caused by the powerful swell destroying/damaging the large underwater sand/mud banks some miles off Newgale . Also much more of the sum merged forest showing. Lyndon
