In September 1769, the 18th-century oak cargo vessel Sally ran aground on Northam Burrows (now Westward Ho! beach) while transporting port wine and shumack from Oporto to Bristol. The well-preserved hull timbers survive in the intertidal zone, periodically exposed by shifting sands and visible during low spring tides.
The pebble ridge is steep. Firmer sand is lower down, and the tide covers it. For the shipwreck, walk onto Westward Ho! beach at the lowest spring tide.
