	Beach Guide. Bristol Channel
		The Bristol Channel has the second largest tidal range in the world...Quite a 'Force-of-Nature' in itelf and this huge tidal range certainly has an effect on the beaches.
		The beaches further up the channel tend to be large sandy beaches at high tide, but as the tide drops they turn to mud and then the sea vanishes over the horizon and if you try to follow it you'll be up to your armpits in mud in no time.
		The rocky and then muddy beach of Severn Beach isn't the prettiest in the world (or even in the Bristol Channel for that matter) but it is possible to windsurf here either an hour or so before high tide in a NE wind or an hour or so after high tide in a SW wind.
