	Gibraltar Point - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve is an area of approximately 4.3 square kilometres in Lincolnshire, England.
		The reserve comprises two parallel ridges of sand dunes - the "east dunes" and the "west dunes" - separated by approximately half a kilometre of saltmarsh; and an area on the seaward side with further saltmarsh and sand, shingle and muddy beaches.
		Gibraltar Point is an area of coastal deposition - at the end of the 18th century, the west dunes were by the shore, but they are now 1km inland.
