Every year, the same view
This archive is the digital foundation for CoastLens - a physical viewing frame we're planning for the beach itself. Scan a code at the frame and see this exact view through decades of change. Until then, browse it here, ordered year by year, and add your own photo below.

Got an old photo of the Front Strand - or a new one? Every contribution adds another timestamped data point to the record, whatever decade it's from.
We'll ask for a rough date, where it was taken, and a line about the memory that's what turns a photo into evidence people can trust.
Thank you
Your photo and memory have been added to the queue for the archive. We'll be in touch if we need anything else.
