Some of you may know that
Folkestone now has a new beach. It was constructed during the summer as
part of the coastal protection works. One rock groin - opposite the
Mermaids restaurant in the Lower Leas Costal Park - was extended towards
the SE, and the lea side pumped with shingle and sand to form the new
beach. Commodore Antoine Breton was the first to land here; his Hobie can
be seen in the photo. Antoine reckons this gives him the right to name the
new beach, which he has decided to call "Mills Point Creek" (So
Shepway Council, take note, please!). Windsurfers note that the extended
groin provides a flat water gybing area even at high tide - so this might
be well worth checking out (although I have no idea if this is a good/safe
spot or not!) Photo courtesy of Antoine.
