It’s never completely quiet by the sea but when the tide falls on a calm day the gentle hissing of the waves settles towards silence. Early morning and evening low tides are peaceful times for a stroll on the beach at any time of year, weather permitting.

Snow and the light through snow clouds, a while before sunset.

You are such a bad influence.. I NEED to bring the dog’s back to Spittal Beach. Sand is so much nicer on the paws than shingle!! 😁😁😁

Perhaps i should remind you that the North sea is only warm enough for paddling for two weeks in August and the wind on Spittal beach in January freezes the ears – human or canine I guess!

I especially like the shot with variegations in the sand, although all the photos evoke such calm. I agree, either end of the day is my favourite time to be at the shore.
