An afternoon stroll along Saltburn Sands

Nine-foot waves, the surfers’ website had said, and a “mekkin’ tide“.
So a stroll along Saltburn Sands at dusk might be interesting.
And a few cobwebs blown away to boot.
There was no beach nor surfers.
A coulpress of waves breaking over the sea wall leaving seafoam in their wake.
A surprised seal found itself unceremoniously dumped on the shore.
Quickly waddling back into the surf.
Unseen by the lone dog walker on the deserted promenade.
