Afternoon walk on the beach II

David and I dropped off the last of Delaney's belongings to her, along with the remainder of the food we had leftover from our stay in Bournemouth.  We head out tomorrow.  We decided to spend one last afternoon on the beach.  Every single day we've been here, there has been rain in the forecast for the following day and it has never materialized.  One day it was 90% chance of rain and we just got an hour of mist.  I understand the rainy season is just after Christmas.  I'm glad I'm here now. 

I love street artists/musicians.  This guy had a skeleton drumming for him (remotely controlled by a foot pedal).  Fun!


This boy was digging a hole all the way to China.  His little sister (probably 18 months) toddled over, lost her balance in the sand, and fell head first into the hole. Her mom and I laughed so hard!


It was very clear today.  You could see Harry Rocks very well.  
A local had just come in on this boat and was pulling fish out of a net.  He proceed to take them up to the beach walk and sell them (or offer them for sale, not sure if anyone purchased them).


We walked quite a ways in the surf.  There were some houses along the top of the cliff.  I thought the cliff face did not look particularly sturdy.  It looked more sandy than rocky to me.
A lot more people were out enjoying their beach huts today.  There were signs on the beach "no BBQs until after 6:00".  Also signs on the trash bins saying "no hot coals".  Don't want a dumpster fire!
This was the walk up one of the many "chines" small drainage valleys that come off the cliffs to the beach.
