Sheringham's long straight and exposed coastline can be seen stretching away to the east in the main photo on the left, with the boathouse and slipway for the station's Atlantic 75 visible on the foreshore - tucked under the cliffs with the golf course above.

The boathouse, seen below in close up. is at the western end of the esplanade, with its launching ramp extending over the shingle bank down to the sand which is exposed as the tide falls further. The photos were taken at roughly half-tide, with the sand and the end of the slipway just covered. The extremely hard shingle of the upper part of the beach is very abrasive and also mobile - so the slipway design makes use of sacrificial ply facing and the planking is not wood, as it seems, but baulks of concrete.
