The isolated village of Shingle Street stands on a wild and desolate stretch of Suffolk coastline, twelve miles east of Ipswich. It comprises an oddment of houses huddled along the beach to the front and the grassy marshlands to the rear. Coastguard Cottages are a landmark sight right on the beach at Shingle Street.

The nationally scarce Sea Pea (Lathyrus japonicus) is mentioned in the European Union Special Area for Conservation (cSAC) designation proposal for the Ness. Growing predominately along the drift line just behind the beach, the plant had largely disappeared from the site by 1993 due in the main to damage and disturbance caused by illegal access onto the site by vehicles and pedestrians. Since this access has been largely stopped. The Sea pea, which is being monitored for presence biennially, has re-established and appears to be thriving along almost the whole length of the site once again.

Brighton's Ferris Wheel lures sightseers eager for a panoramic view of the East Sussex coastline. The 50m high wheel, which towers over Palace Pier from its position on Dalton’s Bastion opened in October 2011 at a cost of £6 million. The wheel has 36 gondolas that can each hold six adults and two children at a time.
