This is the beach I talked about once before. It used to have a Spar Torpedo Boat located there during the Russian Scare. I have attached some pics and thinking about it, I should have been more clever in where I looked. There is a lot of metal around like the rails that were part of the slipway. The surrounding area is quite interesting as well, there used to be a gun emplacement there as well. Have a look and it might whet you appetite.
