Pett Level Beach
Pett Level is a quiet beach sitting under soaring cliffs that is mainly pebbles held in place by a series of wooden groynes. Cliff End, at the south-western end of the beach, is fun to shoot at low tide when it is possible to see the fossilized stumps of trees that once made up an ancient forest. Believed to date back to before the Ice Age when sea levels were around 100ft lower than today. Pett Level is also the resting place of the 17th century warship, HMS Anne. She was run aground here to avoid capture during the Battle of Beachy Head in 1690. The wreck lies on the low water mark of the beach and is only exposed during spring low tides.
