We have a fairly deep beach, and access was restricted onto it. Most people, like me, saw it from the Pier which is safely elevated over the waves.

There were lots of people up on the Pier! Many taking photos too.

And I saw a lifeguard riding a jetski while he looked for anyone in trouble in the water, but nobody was surfing here.

Hope you enjoyed the photos. My life was secure as I took them.
