Talacre Beach
Highlight • Viewpoint
The dunes and beach areas were used for Spitfire training and the remains of pill boxes and rows of larch posts, originally put in to deter enemy invasion, can still be seen. As a result of the target practice and occasional dogfight overhead, the beaches were littered with spent ammunition.
