Photographer's Note
In recent days the weather in North East England was so great that I have visited several beaches near where I live, and again I have to state that real crowds of people are visiting from the south this summer. How do I know they are from the south? One lady on the parking shared with me very surprised that at this parking you can only pay by cash or by phone and the option of paying with the card is not available. She seemed shocked. Ha ha. Really. Be glad that they recently introduced payments by phone, which in some cases is quite ironic because in some remote locations the phone have no range. After 10 years of living here I got used to it. If someone acts surprised, they must be outsiders. Crowds did not discover this beautiful beach though although we had a brief moment when a lady with huge loudspeakers arrived. They were the size which is used on rock music concerts. She pulled it behind her on wheels like an oversized baggage, and she switched it on… Judging by her behaviour, she may have been drunk. She enjoyed the loud music more than her children. At least we were no more disturbed by the loud seagulls anymore.
I have shared with you a photo of this huge Marsden Rock before. Here are more photos from the same beach showing also other rocks:

I didn’t know it before but the Marsden Rock, similarly to the Azure Window on Gozo/Malta was for a short moment an arch, which however collapsed. Wikipedia says:
In 1911 a large section of the rock collapsed into the sea leaving it as an arch. Continued tidal erosion caused the arch to collapse in 1996.

Hello Mariusz,
Great view of the beach and the blue sea in the background. The rock formations look amazing and have got such wonderful shapes, which look great in the bright sunlight.

Hi Mariusz,beautiful perspective that shows the big rock in a perfect way and light, really top quality. But your stories are also interesting, both in terms of payments, and on this I admit that Italy is still in the Middle Ages by comparison, and for the woman at full volume and all .... beer..ahaha .. Have a nice weekend and thanks,Luciano

Hi Mariusz,
Beautiful seaside with pleasant weather, a good summer photo. Well balanced with these strange rocks, in particular the big like a tower, tfs.

Pozdrav.
Lep pogled, interesantan tekst ...
Lepe stene na plazi, dobro pokazano sa lepim bojama, kontratsom i perspektivom.
Lepo mesto za odmor sa lepim pogledom na more.
Lepa fotografija.
Zivot ide dalje i prica svoju poricu, sve se brzo menja pa i ljudi.
Zelim vam lep dan, sve najbolje za vikend.

Hello Mariusz,
Looked up the map and saw that this mighty rock once was a part of the shoreline-cliff and some many years ago detached and washed to the waterfront.
Great nature, things happened in a mysterious way...
Fine photo in the outcome.
Wish you a nice weekend,
Ike

Hello Mariusz,
Lucky you! Last night we had rain and thunderstorms, which is highly unusual in July. Perfect sunny weather here though and the caves in the bg rock seem to have caught the attention of a few beachcombers. Tfs!

Hello Mariusz,
I remember your photo from Marsden Rock.
Also this rock here provides a stunning view and makes the beach look very spectacular.
In Belgium the short coastline consists only of sandy beaches with a few harbours in between. I guess that's why rocks on a beach have always impressed me.
Beautiful composition and the smaller (still big I think) rock in the foreground adds more depth to the photo.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Mariusz,
Beautiful beach scenery, the rocks look like the ruins of a fortress.
