The Stade

As a result, the Stade steadily grew seaward, providing new room for the fishing fleet and necessary amenities.

Europe's biggest fleet of beach-launched fishing boats are based on The Stade.

[citation needed] The Sea Fish Industry Authority described The Stade "as near perfect a fishery as could be devised", because of the environmentally sound methods used by the fishermen (which includes changing their net size to allow young cod to escape and keep stocks high).

Visitors are welcome to witness the fleet in action, but must respect the fact that the area is very much a working beach with many hidden perils.

These are tall black wooden sheds which were built to provide a weather proof store for the fishing gear made from natural materials to prevent them from rotting in wet weather.
