Sheltered tidal lagoon behind the Colne estuary — a specialist flat-water freeride/freestyle spot at its best when the wind has a W or SW component around high tide. Butter-flat and great for progression, but intermediate-plus due to estuary character, technical launches, and limited parking. Set against the backdrop of a historic Martello Tower. Schools nearby: Push Kiting. Note: NO public toilets at the spot — plan accordingly (Ferry Boat Inn / Martello tearoom for customers).
