The beaches down here on the West Coast are all very wild and windswept - this one is our favourite.
The old hotel still sits back from the beach over the hill and was once quite a popular spot but is now privately owned as a house.
Rapahoe Beach is about 15 minutes from home and usually it has golden sand further down but today the tide was coming in so we pulled up logs to sit on instead of sitting on the stones. This couple in the distance turned out to be a work colleague and they had their little dog with them.
So this beach is roughly 2km long and in the distance in this photo is Point Elizabeth. I was going to walk down and explore the rock pools but feared I wouldn't get back in time once the tide fully came in.
Lots of textures - this one is a half a mussel shell attached to some seaweed sitting on the rocks.
The seagulls were quite happy to be nosey on the hill behind us.
And we watched this lone surfer brave going out into the waves in his wetsuit - he ended up being dragged over to the opposite side of the beach.

A wild and windswept beach. Marvellous
I love your beach. It looks very rough. A great place to walk but not one where you would lay down and listen the soft ocean.
It is a unique beach with these grey pebbles.
...this beach bum is jealous.
A different kind of beach but I like it. At first I thought it was a desert like place.
Love all those pretty pebbles adorning the shoreline.
Wishing you a Christmas filled with wonder and joy, Amy.
Beautiful captures of the seashore!
Looks good.
Such a beautiful beach but very rocky. The views are gorgeous.
It looks a great place for enjoying a walk and so close to where you live.
So nice to find beaches like this that don't have crowds. Very pretty!
Rough looking waters.
