A memorial to him can be found just above the beach.
In this picture the new promenade and sea wall provide plenty of space to walk, while the beach below gives a hint of what it looked like in its natural state.
Six years before this picture was taken, the beaches at Saundersfoot witnessed secret military activity with Operation Jantzen, the full-scale rehearsals for the D-Day landings.
Here we see the central beach in the last years of the 19th century. Southend has seven miles of 'front'.The old pier is visible on the left.
In this early view of the beach, there are already signs of local businesses capitalising on the new influx of visitors, with terraces of newly-built lodging houses and cheap hotels.
This crowded beach scene shows minstrels performing on the sands.
It was a popular street for local shoppers, with a large selection of family retailers, though even as long ago as 1925 shops were catering for tourists with beach goods and souvenirs.
The pebble beach beside Lyme Bay acts as a dam at Charmouth, and prevents the River Char from having a conventional estuary.
Originally a rough roadway through the cliffs to the beach known as Cart Gap, the Gangway was constructed in concrete in 1898 by Steward & Patteson brewery, the owners of the Ship Hotel.
Having made the energetic walk, visitors were greeted by a café and a secluded beach. At the far end is a farm whose land was once owned by Welsh princes and Norman kings.
The sea wall had not been built either, and the promenade is bordered by cobbles sloping to the beach, with wooden piles providing some protection against the breaking waves.
Chalets and beach huts were crammed into every available space at this time to fulfil the demand for them. Some were privately owned, and others rented out to holidaymakers.
In the background are the buildings of the Preston Railway 'stop off' for visitors to the beach.
The sea wall was constructed in 1835 and the shingle beach can be clearly seen. Overlooking the sea are some fine old cottages, exuberant in design and with bulging thatch.
This sandy beach was obviously popular with both children and adults. A Punch and Judy show always drew the crowds (centre), and many visitors enjoyed a trip on one of the pleasure boats.
Beach huts line the edge of the green. The small shop on the right still opens to serve summer visitors.
The beach is an area of outstanding natural beauty, and the dunes form a National Nature Reserve.
Abbotsbury, situated at the western end of Chesil Beach, is most famous for its swannery, the waters of the Fleet often being turned white with hundreds of birds.
The esplanade Hotel (left) stands on the north side of the Promenade; horse-drawn brakes wait for passengers from either the beach or the hotel, bound for the railway station in the town centre.
Specimens of 'Little Trees', a species of deep water coral so named because of its shape, are sometimes washed up on the beach at Crackington.
The refreshment hut has now been overtaken by a more substantial establishment, which offers outside seating and car parking on the beach.
Two Thames sailing barges discharge cargo at low water on the beach, whilst drawn higher up are some bathing machines.
Disturbed water at the cliff base indicates the power and force of the seas as they surge into the bay and crash against the beach.
The long Asparagus Island on the left can only be reached across the beach at low tide.
