The Sea Sandwort with its fleshy leaves can be spotted on shingly beaches or sandy beaches above the high tide mark, by the bright greenness of the patches of plants even if you can't see any flowers. It flowers in late spring but a few flowers remain throughout the summer. This plant it was late growing colonising some sandy heaps by the side of the track of this very narrow sand spit in the estuary of the river Humber.
