Whitehaven put-in
Whitehaven Harbour is a Georgian-era harbour on the west Cumbrian coast, developed from 1634 as a coal-exporting port and now home to a marina with around 400 berths. This slipway sits on North Beach, on the open coast just north of the harbour's North Pier, separate from the enclosed harbour basin further along the shore.
This is North Beach, a gravel beach on the open Cumbrian coast immediately north of Whitehaven Harbour's North Pier and its lighthouse, which mark the harbour entrance a short distance to the south.
The beach sits outside the harbour walls rather than inside the sheltered outer basin, so conditions here reflect the open sea rather than the enclosed marina further along the shore.
