Last Sunday we had gorgeous Summer weather and we went for a drive down the coastal road, visiting Elwood, Brighton, Hampton and Sandringham. The sea was perfect and there were many bathers, sail boat and motor boat enthusiasts, as well as the jet ski devotees. Many lovely beaches exist along this stretch of Melbourne's suburban coast, so it is a popular are for fun in the sea and sun. Add to that large numbers of great cafés, restaurants and all sorts of other eateries and you have the recipe for a perfect weekend outing.

ReplyDeleteI would love just a few days of that sunshine.... Great photos. AND "there is nothing healthy about a tan!"
ReplyDeleteLovely shots!
ReplyDeleteThe sun is so good to see!
We do have winter in Norway at this time!
Happy Wednesday to you!
Beautiful set of summer pictures Nick, a walk along that beach would be very appealing! We're still a little too hot over here!
ReplyDeleteAren't Melbourne's beaches sparkling at the moment. Great shots Nick.
ReplyDeleteWell, my first comment on your photos posted in today's blog, I must say...."How I envy that gorgeous tan!!" :::sigh::: Me, here...a true paleface. LOL
ReplyDeleteAnyway, LOVE your photos today. I love the sea. And may I add, the water is so beautiful and blue.
PS....my camera is just a Kodak [nothing special]
Beautiful pictures from the beach! Nice and sunny!
ReplyDeleteIt was so good being out enjoying some summer weather last weekend! These sunny coast views are simply stunning! Since the weekend , the temperatures have dropped and winds increased! It's like a wild Autumn!
ReplyDeleteThis is where I'd like to be right now!
ReplyDeleteYou can't go wrong with piers and sandy beaches. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great skyline! Lovely warm photos too. Europe is being hit by a Siberian cold wave and I was hoping my country was spared due to its geographic location, but the cold is getting here now and tempeartures will drop the next days. Grrrrr.... :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures, especially because I love the ocean, thanks for sharing...

I can see why you would choose this coast to drive along. How beautiful and so lively. I did want to warn your sun bather to use sunscreen! :-) Your first photo would be a great subject for a watercolor painting--such pleasing level of color and intensity.
ReplyDeleteBTW, don't know my AU geography very well, but I used to be a great fan of a detective show called "Gold Coast". Are you familiazr with it? Your coastlines look like the ones on that show.
