Maryport Harbour
Maryport Promenade, just after high tide. The promenade offers a sociable walk, about 2km each way. This picture was taken just below the Roman Museum; it wasn't a particularly high tide. This is a good location for spotting cetaceans in the Solway if the sea surface is calm. They may be so far out that it is very hard to see them with the naked eye, so it's worth taking binoculars for cetecean and bird spotting.
Parking area by Crosscanonby beach
Stony beach, near Swarthy Hill. There is a great variety of beach materials along the Solway coast; here, close to the shore, is a stretch of water-worn rounded rocks, further out is clean sand, a couple of km away is exposed sandstone bedrock.
