Goodwin Sands is a 10-mile-long (16 km) sandbank at the southern end of the North Sea lying 6 miles (10 km) off the Deal coast in Kent, England. The area consists of a layer of approximately 25 m (82 ft) depth of fine sand resting on an Upper Chalk platform belonging to the same geological feature that incorporates the White Cliffs of Dover. The banks lie between 0.5 m (1 ft 8 in) above the low water mark to around 3 m (10 ft) below low water, except for one channel that drops to around 20 m (66 ft) below. Tides and currents are constantly shifting the shoals.

  • Die Goodwin Sands sind eine Kette von Sandbänken am Nordeingang der Straße von Dover, etwa 10 km östlich von Deal in Kent, England. Sie sind berüchtigt für zahlreiche Schiffbrüche, die sich dort ereignet haben. Östlich der Goodwin Sands, etwa in der Mitte der Straße von Dover, liegt die Sandettie Bank. (de)
  • Le banc de Goodwin (en anglais : Goodwin Sands) est un banc de sable situé dans la Manche. C'était autrefois des terrains marécageux qui appartenaient à Godwin de Wessex, comte de Kent. Au sud-est de Banc de Goodwin se trouve le banc de Sandettié. (fr)
  • Goodwin Sands är en 16 km lång sandbank i södra delen av Nordsjön, 10 km utanför Deal i sydöstra England. Sandbanken har alltid skapat problem för sjöfarten, till exempel vid Great Storm of 1703 då över 1 000 sjömän omkom vid Goodwin Sands. Ett annat exempel är ostindiefararen Gustaf III som satt fast på sandbanken i elva timmar 11/7 1798 men till slut kunde dras loss utan förlust av liv. (sv)
  • Гу́дуин (англ. Goodwin Sands — «Пески Гудвина») — мели в южной части Северного моря, располагаются к северу от северо-восточной оконечности пролива Па-де-Кале, примерно в 10 км от города Дил на побережье Кента, Великобритания. Между мелями Гудуин и побережьем Кента расположена защищённая якорная стоянка Даунс. Представляют собой 16-километровую группу отмелей, известную тем, что здесь погибло более 2000 кораблей. Причиной такого обилия кораблекрушений является то, что отмели расположены на оживлённых морских путях. (ru)
