I do like to be beside the seaside!

Looking back at our stay in South Africa we travelled along the Garden Route to Plettenberg Bay and had lunch at a beach restaurant. I love the sea and took these shots before leaving.
Plettenberg Bay was originally named Bahia Formosa ("beautiful bay") by early Portuguese explorers and is about 600 km from Cape Town.
Muizenberg (Afrikaans for "mice mountain") is a beach-side suburb of Cape Town, South Africa. It is considered to be the birthplace of surfing in South Africa and is currently home to a surfing community, centered on the popular 'Surfer's Corner'. Agatha Christie, famous author and playwright wrote it and after nursing duty she would daily take the train to Muizenberg to go surfing.
The wind was so strong I could hardly stand up, the sand is soft as icing sugar!

Pleased you enjoyed the beach Carol, thank you very much for your kind comments. The sun was warm, the wind was howling and I had sand clinging to me everywhere at Muizenberg
