I never tire of walking on Spittal beach.  Tide, wind, weather and wildlife combine to make every beach walk a different experience but somehow my photos start to look a little predictable.  So here, for a change, is a nostalgic collection of other coastlines, from the Isle of Arran to the Île de Ré and the Mediterranean to the Atlantic.  A scrapbook of sea view memories.
