A sea serpent has appeared by the Holy Island Causeway warning drivers not to cross when the tide is high.
Of course, it's not a real sea serpent but a creation of Claire Eason of soul2sand, who has embarked upon several sand art projects in Northumberland since her retirement. Claire has previously created an enormous first class stamp for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee on Bamburgh Beach, as well as a tribute to the fallen ahead of Remembrance Sunday and a 2023 New Year's Firework, both on Beadnell Beach.
However Claire, who worked in the NHS for 30 years, says her latest artwork was meant to be a bit of fun. At least before the more serious message regarding the causeway became a part of it and it "took on another life".
