Llandudno - a truly awesome beach

posted by Paul

Llandudno beach is a few kilometres from Camps Bay and Clifton (closer to Cape Point). It's a spot that many surfers do - and all surfers really must - visit. Today (can you believe!) is the first time that Kerry-Anne and I have visited this particular spot. It was a really hot Friday afternoon (at around 17h00) and the beach was filled with people tanning, playing cricket and throwing frisbees.

The guy in the photo was running into the waves with his bodyboarding fins on. It was really funny (have you ever watched someone trying to run with fins on?), although I think his mate (whom Kerry-Anne said was watching me from behind) must have thought I was a freak - taking snaps of his buddy running through the waves.

Kerry-Anne said...: >kate - You're right, the Garden Route is a beautiful area. Did you stop in at any of the towns along the way?
>gerald - I had forgotten that this wasn't the only Llandudno in the world! I'll have to find out why they called CT's one by that name - homesick settlers, no doubt...; 02 April 2007 09:20

ICE_Molly said...: Love the shot... it also made for an interesting image in my head, thinking of that guy running with his fins on. The comment you made about the people on the beach, reminded me that summer is approaching rapidly. I must admit, I'm not much looking forward to the swarms of people, flocking down here to Cornwall over the coming months...; 05 April 2007 05:29
