Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Marine Invertebrates and Fishes of St. Andrews
The beach at St. Andrews combines smooth sandy ?ats with tide-worn ridges of rocks which freely communicate with the German Ocean; and the proximity to rich coralline ground renders the products of its storms peculiarly varied. An unbroken surface of pure sand extends from the estuary of the Tay past that of the Eden to the north-western border of the city. From this point the rocks run eastward in parallel rows - narrow sandy ?ats intervening between some of the ridges, which, with one exception, are all covered at high water. Lines of rocks having a similar arrangement fringe the Castle and Pier to the East Sands; then a coarse sandy and gravelly beach extends in a southerly direction about half a mile, after which the jagged rocky border passes round the eastern coast to the Frith of Forth.
