Paddling at Snell's Beach




So nice to be out and about in the Spring sunshine. We stopped at Snells Beach, just out of Warkworth so it would be about maybe 50 minutes from where we live. After the drive I paddled in the low tide and walked barefoot on the sand.

We're not sure why we've been bought back here to Mangawhai, there's a reason for it we just aren't sure why yet but this beach was one of the places we drove through on this particular day.


After driving around we decided that due to the level of traffic coming in and out of this town that it wasn't for us, so we will see what eventuates.

We have the other half's 20 year old daughter staying with us for the next 2 weeks. Just over 2 years ago she moved to Perth in Australia and now she's back for a brief holiday. Us  kiwis don't really celebrate Halloween that much, it's not that popular here so I hope you have a safe one.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

Barefoot in the sand and paddling in sea water - two of my most favourite activities! Must be time I visited the coast again.

Walking barefoot in the sand is always a treat.

Paddling in the ocean on a Spring day is one of life's little pleasures Amy. Does your stepdaughter enjoy living in Perth?

One thing I do remember is the traffic on the roads around Whangerei - especially SH1. I suppose anywhere in commuting distance or on the tourist routes is going to be busy, though, especially in summer.

Barefoot in the sand sound just about perfect to me.

Barefoot in the sand sounds wonderful. Beautiful photos, and the last one (with the orange and black pole) has nice "Halloween" colors!

Great shots. One of my favourite things to do.

Fun to read about Spring as Winter approaches here in Oregon! (Where barefoot weather at the coast is often iffy even in mid summer, but we still love it!)
