Shingle Street was forcibly evacuated in 1940 in anticipation of a German invasion. Its eerie isolation is now rather compelling. But what really brings people here is the abundance of bird and wildlife. Park up by the beach, have a swim in the sheltered, lagoon-like waters, and enjoy the peace and quiet.
