Bexhill beach lies (below the bandstand\/shelter east of Bexhill sailing club on De La Warr Parade at map reference TQ745070; 50\u00b0 50.10'N 0\u00b0 27.76'E) within the Beachy Head East Recommended Marine Conservation Zone (see Wildlife Trusts<\/a>, DEFRA<\/a>, Natural England<\/a>)\u00a0 and links with sites to the east as far as Fairlight\/Pett. The shore consists of beach and storm beach deposits or shingle\/sand, with underlying rocks of the Tunbridge Wells Sand Formation (see geology\/fossils<\/a>). This later formation exposes as a shore platform and consists sand, silt and mudstones (largely clay) of the Lower Cretaceous. A series of wooden groynes are present to manage longshore drift of the shingle. The beach is very exposed hence the abundance of Fucus vesiculosus<\/em> var. linearis<\/em>.and the general lack of other species or present in only limited amounts.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/a>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n
