There were two former gravel pits on what is known as The Denes, one was washed away a few short years ago but the [now] single pit is a home to birds, several migratory birds use this as a stepping stone before or after flying The North Sea, Wheatears, Whinchats, Greenfinches, Pipits can often be seen along with Little Egret as here
Water from The Hundred River is discharged into the North Sea where the water is 'lifted' from the River by powerful pumps down a gully at frequent intervals, here it is in full flow, this also marks the boundary between Kessingland [to the North] and Benacre Parishes
The area either side of the sluice channel is called The Denes, the area in the Marshes is called the Kessingland Levels and is part Heathland, this really marks the end of Heathland on the Suffolk Coast, although it could be argued that more 'pockets' exists in and around the Pleasurewood Hills area of North Lowestoft
Kessingland Beach is wide and a mix of shingle and sand being binded by Marram Grass which H Rider Haggard planted to stabilise the beach and it seemed to work, this view is from the cliff tops where the chalets are situated looking North towards Pakefield and Lowestoft
Someone had the foresight in placing old rubber belts across the beach to make footpaths at different places as walking on shingle can sometimes be hard graft
At the Pakefield end of K'Land beach there are lovely firm sands
From Kessingland I have walked to Southwold which is approaching 7 miles, mind the tides though as access to the cliffs is not always possible, the same applies in walking to Pakefield and Lowestoft via the beach although that distance is slightly shorter, from the beach [or even better] the cliff tops you can see both towns North and South.
There is usually some sort of activity at sea, a passing trawler from Lowestoft or maybe some of those giant oil tankers anchored a few miles out at sea, being near to the most Easterly Point of the UK you can get some fabulous sunrises as well as this sunset over K'Land St Edmunds Church
