The mud flats are exposed to the tidal flows, the areas with growth on them only once in a while with spring tides, storms, etc. The photos were made from the foot of the dyke which protects the polders behind them. The monument stands on the other side of the dyke.

I have yet to find out if this was ‘Green Beach’ or ‘Amber Beach’. One of them was more to the West directed at the town Hoofdplaat, this one is the most Eastern one of the two, directed at taking the town Biervliet:
