Whistling Sands

Whistling Sands
A walk down to the small beautiful sandy bay of Porthor otherwise known as 'Whistling Sands' is always worthwhile. Here we see the right hand rocky side of the bay whilst the bigger expanse of sand is inhabited at this time of year by many children building sandcastles. Enjoy full size..

Une plage d'algues!... Je me demande si c'est agréable de marcher là . Je l'aime mieux en photo:)
5 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Thérèse
It is certainly very nice to walk on this beach a,d it is also a good pace to drink a coffee and perhaps taste a bit of cake. But, it is a steep long walk from the car-park and a long way from any town.

Best Wishes, Herb

I love the kelp in the foreground. It gives a depth of field to the photo. I have been here and was amazed at the sound the dry sand makes when one walks on it.
5 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Amelia club
In that case Amelia, we share again such pleasure. As we take most of our trips out of peak season we were not used to seeing such a busy beach. But it was warmish and the sky was good so the children splashes in the sea or made sand-castles whilst parents enjoyed a cuppa or a beer at the beach cafe. A great spot indeed.

Cheers, Herb

A very well composed photo, the rocks and seaweed add so many intriguing shapes! The rocky end is my type of beach, lots to explore.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Gudrun club
Great to see you again Gudrun. Yes, I too like the rocky ends of such bays. But I also like these ponds of kelp and maybe small fish.

Herb Riddle club has replied to tiabunna club
Almost Australian, I suspect! Strange colours in these rocks too which must be volcanic. Lots of life in the healthy pools, thank goodness.
