The island is cut off by the tide twice a day - it’s to get to it when the tide is in.
I’ve not just been on it, my ex-stepson got to drive it (just steering, but so nice of the driver to let him).

Re: Randomness
Once you've started looking...
I had in my mind there was another one somewhere, I don't know if Salcombe was what I was thinking of though I've probably grouped everything together, like dinny's Brighton post and bathing huts etc. This and V8's Glos. post don't make me want to travel, honest
