Sky News witnessed the desperation of migrants trying to board a dinghy off a French beach, with police powerless to stop the people smugglers. The atmosphere turned from calm to chaotic in a matter of seconds.
There’s no ice cream, no sandcastles and no sense of fun in this tale - but there are criminal gangs, dune buggies and desperate people.
As we arrive, the boat is making its way toward Britain, while the people smugglers are heading back toward their hiding places in the dunes.
As we’re watching, a crowd of people - men, women and children - start hurrying down the beach.
Smugglers have worked out that it’s much more efficient to launch the boat elsewhere and bring it round to the beach, allowing your passengers to run into the water and clamber aboard.
