Beachfront walkway

Splish Splash
A late Saturday afternoon walk along the beachfront and the water looked very inviting. Unfortunately we were on our way to friends for dinner and I didn't have my costume on. I did have my camera though.
High tide at Bird Rock
High tide on the beach between Hobie Beach and Pollok Beach with Bird Rock just offshore. Believe me, Bird Rock looks a lot closer at low tide.
Lauries Bay cottages
The cottages along the coast at Lauries Bay near Kini Bay. The cottages, or shacks as a lot of owners refer to them, stand on private land and if you buy one you only have limited rights and not ownership of the land on which your cottage stands. The cottages are mostly self sufficient as … Continue reading Lauries Bay cottages
