The beach is also very popular with surfers. This surfer is a mosaic on the brandnew showers and toilet block close to the beach.
Looks beautiful there.
ReplyDeleteWalking there must have beaten a Santa Parade! It looks beautiful. I'm just watching a Hayley Westenra concert from NZ and I thought 'Lets go check out Marja!'
ReplyDeleteThe beach looks amazing, clean and beautiful
ReplyDeleteHi, I am visiting from Peter's blog. You have a great blog. It looks like a wonderful place where you were. We are quite far from the ocean. I have had a nice time visiting and reading your blog.
