NEWS: CoastSnap Southwest 

CoastSnap Southwest

A new addition to the Western end of the beach. The new CoastSnap Southwest post supported by Making Space For Sand will help us capture the ever changing dune system of Par Beach. It is a community based project where you, the public, take part. Just pop your mobile phone in the cradle provided, take a picture and upload it, following the instructions on the sign. Over time it will create a time lapse sequence of the dunes.
