Sandettie Bank

Sandettie Bank is a shallow area in the English Channel located off the coast of France and England. Composed of sand and gravel, it rises above the surrounding deeper waters, making it a navigational hazard. Ships passing through this region must carefully navigate to avoid running aground, especially during rough weather or low tide when the bank’s surface becomes more exposed. The area is also known for its maritime lighthouse, Sandettie Light Vessel, which helps guide vessels safely through this tricky part of the channel. Its presence influences local shipping routes and maritime safety measures.
