Stony Binks
Stony Binks
On a day of an exceptionally low tide, it was possible to walk onto the island known as "Stony Binks". Without consulting a maritime map, it was obvious from breaking waves that the sand bank extends a considerable distance (possibly more than 1 km) north east from the tip Spurn Point. The unevenness of the sand indicates a roughness in the water flows as the tide covers the sand.

It is thought that the Spurn peninsula migrates westward, LinkExternal link has historical notes, aerial photograph and maritime map.
