Leave footprints...not your pants!

Friday 28 July 2023


Clothing, including what looks like children's pants and socks, as well as bathers, a towel and hat are among a pile of items left at the top of Petit Bot in the hope that someone will claim them before the sea does.

The items have been there since at least Thursday when a beach cleaner put them all together on the rocks at the foot of the wall to the immediate left of the slipway as you walk up to leave the beach.

Some of the items - which also includes goggles, a rash vest and a flip flip - are thought to have been on Petit Bot for weeks or even months.

The 'Found on the beach in Guernsey (beachcombers)' page on Facebook regularly carries messages about items left behind by beach goers which often includes buckets, spades and other toys.

Another wombler found a pair of trainers, a pair of sea shoes and a single croc left at Ladies Bay on Friday.

While the items found are often left at the top of beaches for people to collect, they are sometimes recycled by being donated to charities, or put in rubbish bags used by womblers who voluntarily keep the beaches clean for everyone.
