The Beach In The Winter

I have lived and worked here for over 12 years and wake up each day to a great sea view and I see the beach every day when I am in the car, however as the years have gone by i have tended not to go to the beach in the summer, too many people, too hot, too much sand! so i tend to laze on my terrace, or in a bar.

After lots of nagging my wife and daughter will get me down to the beach where i tend to sit and moan! then they let me move to a beach bar.
I recently started getting up earlier and dragging my self and dog down to the beach in the mornings, i must say that i am now hooked.
Getting to the beach just before sunrise and doing an hour walk has made me feel a little fitter but also has changed my whole perception of the beached of the costa del sol.

We see all types of sea birds, fish, even a few dolphins, the beaches this time of year have a wild look, and seem such a different place to the people crowded beaches of summer.

I recommend a trip to the beach on a winters day.
