| Exceptional Swimming and Beach Combing Beach Sunshine Coast, BC
It's a rare day I don't get out for a walk along one of the beaches here on the Sunshine Coast, BC. It's in my job description!
I need to find beautiful beach stones and lovely driftwood for my wind chimes and sun catchers. It's one of the more pleasurable parts of my work. But it's an awful lot more fun in the late spring and summer than in the winter rains! I plan it as my main vacation, taking extra time, bringing along a book to read for a bit, having a swim or two. That's good stuff!
All the better, when I find something great, like this amazing piece of driftwood I found yesterday (sorry, no pic yet).
Thanks to my Specialized Turbo Vado e-bike recently acquired, I have been discovering some 'new' shorelines. It is astounding that after living here for 25 years, there are still places to discover not far from home. The beach pictured above is only a 10 minute bike ride away, and I never knew it existed! Best of all, it turns out it has fantastic stones for my needs (no, not all pebble beaches are created equal in that department-- most have stones that are not shaped as I like them to be, smooth and rounded).
Visit the Coast Chimes Website to see new, fantastic beach stone and driftwood works.

What a beautiful beach. I love walking along the salty shore of Long Island Sound and seeing what I can find. Unusual shells are the best.
ReplyDeleteCandlewood Lake, where our Lake House is, has no shells, but many stones.
Last April, when Maury and I were in Bali, I collected some beautiful stones along one of the black, volcanic beaches. Instead of buying 'stuff' I brought home about six, very different stones. They're in a small bag on the kitchen counter and provide very special memories.
