<div dir="ltr"><div>Tricky - it appears to be a rule that all the famous sea caves are accessible by foot at low tide (there's probably a geological reason, like why sea cliffs tend to have a ledge below exposed at low tide). That said, some sea arches have inward-sloping sides - e.g. Stair Hole <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2128418334" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2128418334</a> on the 1:25000 the HWM and LWM both appear to follow the outer edge of the arch above while the interior is rendered with the cave/cave entrance symbol.</div><div><br></div><div>It's an interesting question how to map sea caves and natural arches - all I've looked at so far have the coastline running along the outer edge of the land above, but OTOH you have natural arches like Rainbow Bridge <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/569676595" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/569676595</a> mapped as an area natural=rock with Lake Powell running uninterrupted underneath it; and Natural Bridge <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4325038750">https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4325038750</a> is mapped as two cliffs, not intersecting the creek or path beneath. </div><div><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jul 11, 2019 at 9:56 PM Colin Smale <<a href="mailto:colin.smale@xs4all.nl" target="_blank">colin.smale@xs4all.nl</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">
<p>Good point. Do you know of one? Let's have a look at how the OS deal with it.</p>

<p><span style="font-size:10pt">* Where the coastline is essentially vertical (harbour walls, steep cliffs) MHWS and MLWS can coincide in OS data (sharing nodes but not ways), but of course low water can never be landward of high water. <br></span></p>

<div>Is this necessarily the case? Couldn't an overhang result in a low water landward of high water? Consider e.g. a sea cave that is flooded at high tide.</div>
