Back to the beach

After a couple of wet months (as I've said before, 2012 has been the wettest non flood year on record) it finally seems that summer is starting to slowly muscle its way into our lives. Although its not totally in the door yet, the days are starting to warm up very nicely and people are … Continue reading Back to the beach →

Horses on the beach

The Sardinia Bay area is home to many horses, some often being ridden down to the beach for a trot and a gallop on the sand. These three turned back fairly quickly due to a howler of a southerly wind. I did wish I could go for a ride on the beach with them. Haven't done … Continue reading Horses on the beach →

Leaping (no swimming yet)

Chaos Boy leaping off the rocks in front of the Pollok Beach parking area. Its not quite swimming weather yet but hopefully in a month or so we'll be able to take the Kidz back there for a swim in the rock pool.

Surf photography

The Pride went to Pollok Beach last weekend and I took a walk down to Pipe with Drama Princess to go and watch the surfers. I can't say I was very surprised to find Luc Hosten, The Godfather of PE Photography (Friends of Schoenmakerskop), snapping away as the surfers rode the waves.

Romantic walks at Sardinia Bay

Its been a bit of a cold and wet weekend so I thought I'll try and counter that with a warm beach scene of a couple taking a walk along Sardinia Bay.

Polok Beach

We may have grown up, but another generation of kids now swim there. I've never been very sure where the name … Continue reading Polok Beach →

Enjoyable beach scenes

When you are small there isn't much more enjoyable than going to the beach and playing in the sand while growing a bit older the enjoyable beach activity turns into walking hand in hand with the one you love... Sorry, that's the best I could come up with to caption this photograph taken on the beach between Hobie … Continue reading Enjoyable beach scenes →

Summer is knocking

Spring may still be wet behind the ears, but the days are getting longer and warmer and summer is a knocking on the door. This was very clear on Sunday when the temperature sored and the beachfront was packed. People seemed to have dusted off their bathing suites already and, even though the water was still a bit … Continue reading Summer is knocking →
