Found on shores above the high tide mark, this coastal grass is tall (over 2m) and distinctly glaucous (leaves are a bluish green). It can't easily be mistaken for anything else.

L. arenarius is found at coastal sites over much of the British Isles but it is a little less often recorded from western sites, particularly in Ireland.
