The Sea: Butting up against the powerful force of the North Sea, Saxton is protected by the massive, rocky bulk of Grindle's Claw; a spiky natural formation, across the natural harbour. Many winter visitors marvel at the huge waves which roll in, off of the churning sea, only to crash and splash against Grindle's mighty Granite talons.

Resting inside Grindle's Claw, Saxton's Old Net and Boat Store is a derelict reminder of Saxton's dying industry. EU regulations, and a drop in interest towards Sea Food, have seen Saxton's industry decline significantly in recent years. Thankfully, the posh nosh loving London crowd still snap up Saxton Lobster by the pot load. Gastro-fans will be pleased to know that Saxton lobster is still served up in the towns eateries, after being hauled from the sea, that very morning.

Captain Walter Spivey: When mentioning the sea's around Saxton is is impossible to ignore the many tales of Captain Spivey, easily Saxton's most famous, legendary figure. Spivey made Saxton his home for many, many years, leaving us a rich tapestry of sea-faring tales of daring-do from the 19th Century. Be sure to check Saxton Museum for more information, and see some of Spivey's nautical belongings.
