Maybe a little different shot from me. Felt for trying something new. Took this last year during hide tide, tried to time it so the waves would splash up on the wall, but the time when it did, the man was out of the frame.
Morecambe, Seafront. Undergoing extensive regeneration in the C21st Morecambe's seafront, which suffers excessive ebbing of the sea at low tide, is about to be boosted by the Eden North project.

It's late afternoon and the promenade at Hastings is remarkably quiet. It had been raining all day which kept the crowds away. I took this shot at 5:30pm, the sun was shining very brightly just out of shot and had burned away most of the remaining cloud. I was struck by just how flat and calm the sea was, the waves almost tip-toeing onto the beach, almost as if time had stood still and was basking in the sunshine after a day of rain.
The Mumbles certainly have some beautiful flower displays - they were so bright and cheerful. You can see the lovely wide cycle lane that makes the 5 mile route from the Mumbles to Swansea very easy.
Lovely summer weather with blue skys and an empty beach - ideal to enjoy the sun and a mild breeze at Aberystwyth's Sea Promenade
Aberystwyth Pier, built in 1864 was once some 242 metres long but time and marine storms are the reason that it has been reduced to 90 metres.

Beach Huts in Scarborough, Yorkshire, England.
HISTORY: Permanent bathing bungalows or beach huts first appeared in Britain in c. 1910 in Bournemouth, but the idea of creating a series of cells in a permanent row was pioneered in Scarborough at its North Bay in 1911.
Eye-catching Redhot Poker's helping to add some vibrant hues to the Wearside coastline just now. Native to Africa, I'm surprised they seem to be doing so well right next the the North Sea.
Moving along the seafront we can now see the war memorial and Spinnaker Tower the right and also the Royal Navy diving tower at Gosport (the square 'Lego' tower on the left) Ahead is the narrow entrance to Portsmouth Harbour, so this is quite a good spot for watching ships and ferries entering and leaving the city.

Some very decent sidelight lit up cobbles behind a seafront restaurant recently. Thanks for viewing :-)
The i360 Observation tower in Brighton is incredibly slender and elegant as you can see here. Seemingly there was also quite a campaign against it when originally proposed but was presumably it was deemed acceptable because like the same Architects London Eye it is a temporary structure.

From Wikipedia : "British Airways i360 is a 162 m (531 ft) observation tower on the seafront of Brighton, East Sussex, England at the landward end of the former West Pier. The tower opened on 4 August 2016. From the fully enclosed viewing pod, visitors experience 360-degree views across Brighton, the South Downs, the English Channel and on the clearest days it is possible to see Beachy Head 27 km (17 mi) to the east and the Isle of Wight 66 km (41 mi) to the west.
British Airways i360 was designed, engineered, manufactured and promoted by the team responsible for the London Eye. It is estimated by the developers that the i360 will generate more than 440 permanent jobs; 160 posts at the attraction, and additional jobs from the spin-off benefits to other businesses in the city. The attraction cost £46 million, with £36 million being funded by a Public Works Loan Board (PWLB) loan through Brighton and Hove city council.
Formerly known as the "Brighton i360", the project aimed to attract 739,000 paying customers every year. The owner of the site, the West Pier Trust, hoped in 2014 that a successful i360 would lead to the rebuilding of the historic West Pier. The i360 carried its 1,000,000th passenger on the 11am flight on 11 March 2019."

A lot of photographs taken down in Donaghadee are of the lighthouse, which is off to the left in this photo. I have instead focused in on the morning light and how the colours are almost mirrored by the colours of the buildings on the seafront :)
Would you believe me if I told you I hadn't boosted the colours in the shot ? I've added some contrast to cut through the haze but other than than the saturation remains unchanged from that shot. The amazing light was created by the last rays of the setting sun filtered through barbecue (and probably some cannibis) smoke drifting off the adjacent beach.

From Wikipedia : "Hove is a seaside resort in the county of East Sussex. It is a constituent part of the city of Brighton and Hove, created in 2001 from the formerly separate towns of Hove and Brighton. Originally a "small but ancient fishing village" surrounded by farms, it grew rapidly in the 19th century in response to the development of its eastern neighbour Brighton, and by the Victorian era it was a fully developed town with borough status. Neighbouring parishes such as Aldrington and Hangleton were annexed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1997, as part of local government reform, the borough merged with Brighton to form the Borough of Brighton and Hove, and this unitary authority was granted city status in 2000."
