Two of the three houseboats located near to Lower Beach Road, Pelican is to the right, Otia Margaretta is on the left. A third Guidance, is out of shot to the right. They are the last reminder of the original Edwardian Bohemian lifestyle of the area, much of which was cleared during World War Two with only the houseboats remaining. Even then they faced long periods of conflict with the local council before the latter grudgingly accepted their existence. Viewed from the mud at low tide.
