A visit to Spurn Point 10 The east-facing beach of Spurn has a series of groynes, now mostly in disrepair. The object was presumably to try to limit sediment drift southwards to help keep the mouth of the Humber clear for shipping. A large cargo vessel is moored in the estuary mouth, perhaps awaiting high tide before moving off?
