Please note that a resident of Hollesley has reported another experience of 'quick sand' on the beach at Shingle Street.

The incident happened at very low tide and the person stuck had to abandon her wellington boots to be pulled free. The whole experience was very distressing for all concerned and has been reported to both the Environment Agency and East Suffolk Council.

Please take extreme care when walking along the shore, especially at very low tides and near the lagoon.
