Beach erosion is a major problem. This snow fence is being used to catch the drifting & wind-blown sand, in an attempt at rebuilding the dunes.
Anyone knows the name for this in english? Done for a LUG's contest. With my LEGO in boxes, I had to go for something simple! :)
Fine soft black sand, warm water in late October, we could maybe get used to this. It wouldn't be easy but it might be worth the effort :)

Fall Break 2014: "Turtles & Lava"
October 28: Settling into the sunny side of Hawaii; exploring the Waipi'o Valley.
Yes, this is England in late October. No, the man lying on the beach isn't dead, he's just sunbathing. It was 13 degrees C at the very least...
Victoria Beach Tower: It was built in 1926 as an enclosed staircase to the beach for William E. Brown, a senator from Los Angeles. This area can be accessed only during low tide.

Our Lunch Stop at Biarritz.. and it was raining.. Lucky only showers! Day 13 of our Cosmos tour, October 12, 2012 France on our way to Bilbao in Spain.
Biarritz is a city on the Bay of Biscay, on the Atlantic coast in the Pyrénées Atlantiques department in southwestern France. It is a luxurious seaside town and is popular with tourists and surfers.
Biarritz has long made its fortune from the sea: as a whaling settlement from the twelfth century onwards, in the 18th century doctors recommended that the ocean at Biarritz had therapeutic properties, inspiring patients to make pilgrimages to the beach for alleged cures for their ailments.
Biarritz became more renowned in 1854 when Empress Eugenie (the wife of Napoleon III) built a palace on the beach (now the Hôtel du Palais). The British royal family such as Queen Victoria and Edward VII were frequent visitors as well as other European royalty such as Alfonso XIII of Spain.
Biarritz's casino (opened 10 August 1901) and beaches make the town a notable tourist centre for Europeans, and East Coast North Americans. The city has also become a prime destination for surfers from around the world, developing a nightlife and surf based culture.
At the end of World War II in Europe, the U.S. Army's Information and Educational Branch was ordered to establish an overseas university campus for demobilized American service men and women in the French resort town of Biarritz. Under General Samuel L. McCroskey, the hotels and casinos of Biarritz were converted into quarters, labs and class spaces for U.S. service personnel. The University opened 10 August 1945 and approximately 10,000 students attended an 8 week term. This campus was set up to provide a transition between army life and subsequent attendance at a university in the USA, and therefore students attended for just one term. After three successful terms the G.I. University closed in March 1946.

Within the Samuel Boardman State Park on the Southern Oregon Coast, China Beach resides. This one mile stretch of flat sandy beach, with its impressive collection of off shore sea stacks, holds great photo opportunities and a wild adventure. But access to this beach is not easy.
The trail is very steep, and what goes down, must come up...but the trek is worth it. Due to the steep access, China Beach gets very few visitors. You can spend all day on this beach and you'd be lucky to see another person.
In Klampenborg, about 10 kilometers from downtown Copenhagen, is Bellevue Beach. The beach is very popular with locals during the summer months.
The beach is five minutes' walk from both Klampenborg S-train station and Dyrehaven.
The beach is 700 meters long and has both lifeguards and freshwater showers on the beach.
The beach is just off the picturesque fishing village, Tårbæk, and right next to Strandvejen at the Arne Jacobsen-designed Bellevue Theatre.
From my collection of early 20th century Japanese found photography (picked up during regular trips to the Togo Shrine antique flea market in Tokyo).
I like the how the female subject's bathing costume almost makes her appear topless if not for a hint of fabric, the way the woman on the right's black-clad bottom is so prominent, and the fully dressed man is strolling on an otherwise bathing suit bedecked beach.
