Detective Sergeant Samantha Hockley said: “We have been carrying out enquiries to try and establish the identity of this person.
“However, at this stage we’ve not been able to find out who he is.
“We believe he was in the water for a short amount of time before being brought in by the tide. Therefore, he may not have been missing for long and his family and friends may not have realised yet.
“We are working hard to determine who this person is and the exact circumstances surrounding his death.
“If a friend or family member, who matches this description, is missing, then we want to hear from you as we continue our investigation.
“You can contact us online or by calling 101, quoting the reference 44230444730."
