Newhaven Harbour
Although Newhaven Harbour wall can be shot as a long exposure it is with the waves breaking over the sea defence and the lighthouse that it is most famous. This is achieved when high water coincides with a south westerly gale. Park on the northern or western side of the car park if you want to avoid lots of sea spray on your car. You can shoot through the gates at the entrance to the breakwater or on the hill overlooking the harbour arm. On the western side of the sea defence images can be captured of wave forms from the beach. Travelling back towards Newhaven turn right to Newhaven fort and you will be rewarded with images from the top of the cliff. Head for the National ‘CoastWatch’ lookout and shoot from the cliffs of Fort Hill.
