The towel line refers to where beachgoers tend to place their towels. It’s above the high tide mark – usually, a line of seaweed or other bits the sea has temporarily left behind.
The smashed tide line is a great place to begin searching after a storm, but be careful. Don’t go near the sea during bad weather. Seas are unpredictable and it’s not worth the risk. more
