Back to Walking on the Beach

It felt good, the sea air filling our lungs. Yes, after so long away from the beaches, because of the coronavirus, we had a stroll along a beach. There were only a few other walkers and those we saw all respected social distancing - and to quite a degree.

It was also good to feel the damp sand beneath the feet at low tide.

There were a few dog walkers. This dog waited patiently for his ball to be thrown into the distance.

It was a little hazy over the cliffs in the morning air.

A skeleton washed up on the sand - but no treasure!

 
Rocks were uncovered because of the low tide. Actually there were a couple of seniors in the sea with their boards. You can just make then out in the photo beyond the rocks.

At the far end of the beach a small stream enters the sea. Two swans seemed quite contented.

After walking the length of the beach we decided to return by following paths through the sand dunes

Lots of wild flowers within the dunes ...

… including this little beauty.

We followed an often used path as we couldn't see any other walkers.

The green hills came into view and also a few people, in the distance.

We spotted one lady sitting comfortably on her beach chair amongst the flowers.

The end of our walk and we headed back to the car. All in all very pleasant. It made a change from walking from home.

I feel that as long as beaches are reasonably empty it's quite easy to comply with the coronavirus rules. We actually do it to extreme as we leave well more than the suggested two meters / six feet and 6.7 inches from other people.

If a beach looked busy we would move on to somewhere else.

Thank you for visiting my blog.

Stay safe.
