Blustery at the beach

There were a few brave souls out in the surf today, but after sitting and watching for a bit, no one out there was making it look enticing enough to want to get in! The wetsuits stayed dry today as we wrapped up for a walk along the beach instead.


There has been lots of debris, logs and plastic 'stuff' washed up on the high tide, but this was the coolest thing we found!..


We had no idea what it was at first!? A tropical creature perhaps?... On closer inspection it might just have been some seaweed growing on a chunk of blue foam, but that's nowhere near as exciting as our initial guesses...
Things were quite rough out to sea further along the coast, with big waves crashing over the rocks and loads of foam blowing across the sand.


Away from the sheltered bays, it was hard to stay upright on the exposed beaches!


Where the tide was in, I had to time a run between the rocks to keep dry feet!


We took respite in a cosy little cafe, nestled in the sand dunes. Splendidly warm, we found a comfy leather sofa, good coffee and a flick through the papers and felt like we'd been transported into a different world. It was quite a challenge to leave! We checked out a couple of potential surf spots on the walk back to the van, but decided (rather sensibly) to give it a miss today and just enjoy the walk.
