Oh I do like to be beside the seaside...

Back again to St. Bees beach before commencing the climb around South Head, to the north-west of St. Bees township.

So many beautiful photos are taken from this beach. From it, we can see the Isle of Man across the waters. The light plays on the water and it is truly spectacular.

This photo is one of me at the famous surf beach, Bell's Beach, near Torquay, Victoria, Australia. It is not St. Bees beach...but it could be. This photo was taken late December (Australian summer), but it is both bracing and breezy. I am sure that the water tempterature of Bass Strait on this day was just as breathtaking as that of the Irish Sea at the same time (UK winter)...although others might debate me :)

Here's something to whistle along to as we make our way along to the pathway that winds slowly up South Head, St. Bees. It is Basil Rathbone singing 'Oh I do like to be beside the seaside':

It should put a brisk step in our walk.
