My three children love our jaunts to the beach. It's the freedom and fun of living so close to the beach that drew us to the north coast. We are spoilt for choice here, never far from a beach or two.
There are favourite spots to swim (usually calm ocean pools), to run, to rock pool fossick and then there are mummy's favourite beaches that tend to be located close to a coffee source.
Where once I may have sought an ice cream at a busy beach, these days I enjoy hot drinks by quiet stretches of wind-swept sand and gentle rolling waves.
Just watching my three fossick and talk to each other as they discover beach treasures feels like a privilege and a treat in itself.
Until sand inevitably flies from the hand of one little person into the eyes of another, of course.. let's keep it real.. sibling serenity never lasts too long!
