'A Shining Light on Childhood Places' Loe Bar

This stunningly beautiful beach, a beach and walk that we would frequent as children with our parents, is captivating, spectacular and intriguing. You see, this beach is actually a bar of sand that separates the open Atlantic on the right, from Loe Pool to the left. At one time this was a navigable creek but is now a huge mostly freshwater lake. It's also exceptionally dangerous. The undertow and rips can take you out to sea without hesitation, and indeed two beautiful young women twins, college friends of mine, were both pulled out to sea here where they tragically drowned - devastating for all who knew them, so full of life, promise and talent.
