It is possible at low tide to walk along the shore rather than along the original route aling the higher ground. I would not recommend walking along the shore. The sand is covered, almost uniformly, by a layer of very slimy mud. The rocks are covered in moss/seaweed and are equally as slippery. Both options produce hazardous under foot conditions. As you can see by my route I did try to walk along the shore but common sense prevailed (eventually 🙄) and I turned back and retraced my steps back to the original route.
