Beautiful days

Bright and sunny, with blue sky and blue sea and puffy white clouds. It's like they were specially made for the beach, splashing around and digging in the sand. We love our under the rain walks, but we also love our beach adventures on sunny days, even if they result in someone walking back home wrapped in my sweater instead of his own clothes.

Some days we hop on the bicycles and go to West Sands. It's always windy, perfect for flying kites. Maya loves the soft sand there, she's content to dig around or just roll in it and watch how it flows through her fingers. Then there are football games, with shoes often serving as impromptu gates. Or hide and seek in the dunes, if we manage it to the very end of the beach.

For swimming it's East Sands for us - we live quite close, so it's easier to carry all the towels, clothes, snacks, picnic lunch, water, toys, goggles, sun cream, book for myself... The list of things they want to take and do can be quite long, so it certainly helps that we don't need to go far. East Sands is our playground of sorts, we are here often. The favourite part is the rocky one, kids love exploring the rock pools, or just wandering in warm shallow water. 

Then there are small beaches along the Coastal path. We frequent the 3 closest to East Sands, and it looks like there is a different season for every beach to be a favourite. Some days we prefer to walk under the cliff, with the tide far out - we usually end up on Maiden rock and just stop there. Other days we go up on the path and walk a bit further, there is a lovely little sandy beach with a special jumping rock as the kids call it. Next to it is a bigger rocky beach, it's full of interesting rocks and shells. And yes it happened a time (or ten) when a walk ended up with an unplanned swim, and someone was walking back home dressed in my sweater. Beautiful days, I hope this summer will have more of them.
