I'm looking for a location for a photo shoot which combines the following:

- Allows cars to be brought onto the beach or, if not, immediately adjacent to it, without tarmac.
- The sea is visible from the point at which the cars are parked
- It's sufficiently remote to allow a fire to be lit by the cars after dark (camp fire type thing)

Anywhere from Clacton to Yarmouth would be good. Doesn't have to be a sandy beach, but if it's shingle, it'd be good to have some sand context, e.g. dunes.

Whaddayaknow?

Can't help, but do let me know if you have any success.

I bet you're going to have a lot of issues with getting a beach to allow you to have a fire.

Out of curiosity what are you doing exactly?

How about West Runton ?
You can get right down to the beach ( or could last time I went....about 2 years ago )
A bit stony before the sand.

It's for a fashion shoot. Want to grab a few daylight beach shots and then have a load of snaps of a 'beach party' style gathering: young people, cars, the clothes(!) etc.

I wasn't planning on going down the 'allowed' route re the camp fire; more the 'getting away with'

This is as far as the Google camera-car got. I guess it may be possible to drive round that cone after hours

Just found this.

May help if you do a bit of hunting around !
What car are you using in the photos ?

That's a good site! I was actually thinking about the boat launch into the Stour estuary at Wrabness, in fact.

Car-wise... probably a couple of old Beemers with angel eyes or a low-slung Passat

Have got a couple of potential contacts... certainly something the owner doesn't mind people sitting on the bonnet of!

I may be able to provide a tatty old 'datsun'. Quite welcome to sit on the bonnet if not toooo hefty

Cool - thanks. It'll be in six weeks or so; I'll see how the rest of the plan pans out give you a shout if needs be
