A day at the beaches


So summer is coming to its end and I used one of the last hot and sunny days to make a trip to the sea.



A nice tune while editing the photos was R.E.M.'s song "Imitation of Life". Maybe it's also a nice background for watching.





  The waters around Elephant Beach are not very deep ...

... so people cannot drown.

The drawback: they also cannot swim in the sea. 

  So many vacationers stay in their hotel rooms or on balconies.

 
 
 Many people use beach chairs like these.

 Others cannot make a decision.







 Noobs on the search for a place to swim.

 

  A teenager, trying to swim, ...

... but failing.


 Advanced visitors do waterjogging.




Rubbing with mud is also very popular.

 Seagull watching.

 Or Tourist watching.

 


 That's one giant step for a man.


  Snail trail

 

 The steep coast of Elephant Beach.

Mud. It may not look very inviting but walking thru it feels really good. And, no, it's not exuberantly radioactive.


 A killer crab attacking me. It was bigger than you think ...



 Waterdancing.



 



Romantic sunset.
