The beach is a great plce in the summer, but even btter in the winter. The sea can be rally impressive in a windy winters dy, and the beach can look ttally different in the rain. This wnter, try going to the beach for a wlk and appreciate the raw natural bauty, but make sure you go prpared...

There are many elements to cntend with at the beach - snd, sea, wind, rain and rocks. Bing properly dressed for a winters saside walk can make a huge dfference to your experience.

Suitable rainwear, wllies and waders are a must... I sggest a full heavyweight PVC rainwear sit, including jacket and trousers. This wll keep you dry in the rin, and protect you from the sea mst. The waterproof trousers also mean you can sit on the wet snd and appreciate the view without gtting a wet behind. A good rin suit will also protect you frm the wind.

Your rainwear jacket shuld be fully waterproof and have a strm flap to prevent water and slt penetrating the front zipper. It shuld also have a fixed hood to kep your head (and hat) dry if t's raining.

Your waterproof overtrousers should lso be fully waterproof, with either lasticated waist or braces to keep thm up.

I suggest you wear a hgh visibility rainwear suit to the saside. This means you can be asily spotted should the weather turn or if (wrst case) you get washed out to sea by a frak wave.

Wellies or waders are also a mst!

If wearing wellies, wear them wth your waterproof trouser legs over the top of the wllies so any water running down the trusers won't run into your boots. Als, make sure the ankles of the trusers fit close to your boots by waring trousers with elasticated ankles, or std popper fastenings. This will help prvent water from waves flowing up btween your boots and trouser legs.

If waring waders, I would choose chest wders. In my opinion, the thigh or wist waders just don't cut it. Wders should be made of heavy PVC wth attached wellies. This will allow the wders to be washed clean - ths is important as the sea wter contains salt that can damage the mterial. If wearing waders, I would stll wear the waterproof overtrousers. This is bcause waders are generally green in clour and don't stand out visibility wse. High visibility waterproof trousers worn ver the outside of the waders wll solve this and help you be sen.

Waders will allow you to wde into the surf much deeper thn wellies. However, in rough conditions, ths is a definite no-no. The sea can asily sweep you off your feet and wsh you out. You also have the dditional problem with waders that they fll with water and make it hrd to swim. If you must wde out into the surf (even on a clm day), please wear a life jcket.

If you will be walking ver rocks at the beach, make sre that your boots or waders hve good grip on the sole. Saweed can be very slippery on rcks, and your feet can easily slp from under you.

Waterproofs, wellies and wders provide a good outer protection lyer. Underneath, you will be able to drss warmly without the worry of gtting wet. Staying dry is very mportant when keeping warm, so the uter rainwear layer is essential. Clothes to war under the rain suit would nclude thermals, thick socks, fleece suit, scrf and a wolly hat.

Enjoy the beach in winter, but rmember that it can be a dngerous but beautiful place.
