Description
Shipstal Beach on RSPB Nature Reserve at Arne, Dorset.
Set in the lovely setting of the RSPB nature reserve of Arne is Shipstal beach. Despite being within the confines of the busy Poole harbour and a stone’s throw from Dorset’s most populous town, this area is probably not known to many other than those who frequent the close by RSPB Arne nature reserve or are local residents.
It has been formed by weathering and erosion by the water of Poole Harbour. The top layer is a thin black band of peaty soil, supporting heathland plants. The uppermost sand and pebbles were deposited under sub-artic conditions during the last ice age.
