It's so time for me to go back to the beach...preferably one where there is very warm weather. Moving back to Louisiana from Florida and the beautiful beaches was not an easy thing to do, but I love my children and grandchildren even more than the beach...so here I am missing the beach instead of my children and grandkids. :cool: It's a good thing I like to take a lot of pictures when I am at the beach. Anyone live on the beach?
 

Lovely! Yes! I have been wanting to go to the seaside for the last 3 years and rent a beach house. Stuff keeps coming up though
 
This summer coming up they say that Seaside Park at the Jersey Shore will be open again and we'll be there. We got there months before Sandy washed most of it away...then there was a fire on the boardwalk. Hopefully they'll have it new and improved by summertime.
 
It's raining today, temps dropped back down to the 70's, so I'll wait to get to the beach maybe in a couple of weeks when my schedule slows down a bit and I'm not so tired of travel to and from appointments and events I have coming up. I wish I had half the energy I used to have, I would have spent the past few days lying around on the beach soaking up the sun as the temps had been in the 80's, but buy the time I ran errands, just too tired.
 
I hope you will be blessed with everything ready for the summer fureverywhere! The beach soothes my spirit so beautifully. :)
 
At home in Scotland we live on the sea, but the beach is rocky and the water cold. Pretty, but not 'walk in the sand or surf barefoot' type of stuff.

This winter we are again on an island in Thailand for 3 months. We aren't right on the beach but it is just a 5 minute walk away.

As for bikinis. I have two and I do wear them. No, I don't have a flat belly, but don't care. Everybody wears bikinis here no matter what size.

I actually find a bikini more comfy than a one piece, especially when wet and clingy.

The few times I did try a bikini and jumping the waves...I went one way and my bikini top went another. No, don't do that anymore...but glad to hear you enjoy them. I do wear a two piece when just wanting to get a little sun on more of my skin. :)

I had a bikini in my early 40's and didn't have another until last winter. Don't look too bad if I do say so myself. ;)
 
For me, the Atlantic is 15-20 minutes away. But this winter, in Florida, the weather has been exceptionally cold and wet. I like to take our folding chairs and go to the beach and read. No swimming anymore for me.

Mrs L and daughter walking along the beach at Cruden bay. It was once a popular holiday spot and is where Bram Stoker wrote 'Dracula'. To the right of that picture is the golf links that is listed amongst the world top 100. Usually a bit chilly for bikinis, but popular with kite surfers.
 
A small part of my local beach taken in December - Also very popular with kite surfers. Again, in the days of the railway, it was a very popular beach, but now it's fairly quiet, even in summer. The beach stretches for over a mile behind where this photo was taken.

Hi Babs,

I hope to get some decent shots today of the coastline near my apartment. I will share them if I do:) I see we are to have some sunshine again today, and it was warm enough to just wear a tshirt yesterday, so I am hoping. Plus, not much wind predicted. It can change fast though, so we'll see.

Your photos are lovely:)
 
LOL, it's warm out already here. Unseasonally warm I think they call it;) The coast here is like that. Truly need layers of clothing because it can change so quickly;)

By the way, I just saw some of the other photos on here and they are all beautiful. I loved the one of the ship/boat near the lighthouse;) I found this online today as I was thinking of a different avatar:

I'll have some beach too please --- need some surf sand and sun, I'll even wear my outdated bathing suit --- we are just now getting pummeled with snow!

Beach yes! It is fifty two degrees f. Here, sunny, but let's go somewhere hot, with booze, and accidently party.
