I stopped along Beach Road on Thursday morning to enjoy the nice weather we had for a change and noticed a bit of activity going on at Denville Beach next to McArthur Pool.

The longest surfski wave in the world
Every now and then I see a video pop up on Facebook or YouTube and just wish that I could do it. Yesterday was a day like that again.

The red shirt man
After so much wind lately I could not let a much calmer morning go by without at least stopping for a look out over the Bay. I wasn't the only one it seems and I really liked the picture with this guy in his red shirt standing on the wall between McArthur Pool and Humewood.

The beachfront walkway continues beyond the lollipop beacon at the bottom of Admiralty Way all the way to Flat Rocks. The section of the walk from the beacon is actually called the Humpback Dolphin Trail although you're probably more likely to see Bottlenose Dolphins swimming along the coast. The walkway in picture is the last … Continue reading The trail to Flat Rocks

Van Stadens King Protea
The Van Stadens Wildflower Reserve must be one of the best places around to see Proteas and other Fynbos species growing in the wild. Not just is it great to view wild flowers, but the reserve also has a number of excellent trails for you to go and stretch you legs along. The trails range … Continue reading Van Stadens King Protea
