Looking westwards along the beach which extends for about 700 metres along the north edge of Whitmore Bay. The distance between the water's edge and the buildings varies considerably between high tide and low tide. The funnel shape of the Bristol Channel gives Barry one of the highest tidal ranges in the world.
