- Hurst Castle Spit - Hampshire
- Shingle ridge
- Developed from longshore drift in christchurch bay
- Sudden change in direction of the coast
- allowed deposited shingle sediment to develop into a spit which reaches 2km out from the coastline
- strong winds and tidal currents have shaped the spit and created a distinct curve at the end
- groynes built to maintain spit and hurst castle
