Kirkjufjara beach is one of those places in Iceland where you can find numerous images on Flickr. It is very scenic, and if you are lucky you can see puffins flying all around you. I saw them too, but they were too far away to make some decent shots, so I have to go back once for that.
I took this image with a 100mm macrolens, and the reason for that is, that you then can include a bit of the glacier of the Vatnajökull National park behind.

Thanks for looking in! - Have a great day!
The big seas at this beach have made some rare water action on the sand. This one going parallel with the beach and creating some interesting ripple textures. Bournda Beach in the Bournda National Park on the Far South Coast of NSW
“A beach is not only a sweep of sand, but shells of sea creatures, the sea glass, the seaweed, the incongruous objects washed up by the ocean.”

The sand patterns made me think of zebras and tigers and I had to call the photo something :)
Some photos come easier than others but this location made me work quite hard. Couldn't get anything to line up with the nice sunset happening stage right, so kind of resorted to this. It won't win any awards but I did quite like the converging patterns in land, sea and sky.
Great Egret
Seems to be waiting for something to happen while standing in the early morning light streaming over the ocean and sand.
From the National Park Service:
Second only to the Great Blue Heron in size, the Great Egret (Casmerodius albus), sometimes called the Great White Egret, is one of the largest of the wading birds that inhabit the Everglades. Standing over 4 feet in height with a wingspan of more than 50 inches, it is similar in appearance to the Snowy Egret but can be distinguished by its long black legs, black feet, stout yellow bill, and tremendous size. The Snowy Egret is smaller than the Great Egret and has a black bill and yellow feet.
Although numbers of Great Egrets have recovered throughout most of the United States in response to conservation measures, numbers have declined in some parts of the southern United States because of habitat loss. Data indicate that the Florida Everglades has undergone a 90-percent reduction in the number of breeding pairs of wading birds.
The photo is from our last trip to Cuba. Ensenachos beach is one of the best Cuban beaches and famous for its white sand through the perfect bottom of the sea. The photo taken day before hurricane Sandy hit the island. This was quiet unfortunate for our trip as the four days in the row we had the rain and these beautiful beaches were closed :(

I am not really a fan of beaches of any kind (well, sometimes :-)) but this one is very special. I'd never seen a more beautiful beach before, really not! This is the so called Turtle Beach in the beautiful Sultanate of Oman. The beach is not easy to access, you have to drive a quite long distance and then walk, but it was worth it. We didn't see any turtles, though. They come in the night and you must book a special tour because this beach is then closed for the visitors
