So armed with our towels and hats we set off eagerly to Cobblers Beach for some clothes-free time in the sun. The beach was quite busy, as was expected, with everyone taking the opportunity to get out in the sun and there were about 4 or 5 boats moored off the beach also taking advantage of the great day.
Yes, the water was cold and it was only the brave that ventured in for a swim but quite a few went in for a quick plunge and returned to the warmth of the beach.
From the beach you can look across Middle Harbour to Balmoral Beach and while Cobblers was crowded there was scarcely anyone on the beach at Balmoral. I have noticed this before on our winter trips on sunny days and put it down to the fact that Balmoral beach is more exposed to the prevailing winds but there was hardly a breath of wind today.
So the question is, are clothes-free beach goers a more “hardy lot” or do we just appreciate every opportunity to get onto the beach and enjoy some clothes-free time?
I think it is definitely the latter.
I know in our case we really appreciate the time that we spend on the beach it is like a mini-holiday as we can fully relax. There is just something magical about feeling the sun and breeze on the whole of your body and being surrounded by the natural beauty of the bush, the brilliant crystal clear sea, the colourful spinnakers of the yachts on the harbour and the deep blue of the sky.
Is it any wonder that we long for any opportunity to visit such a special place whenever the weather allows, whatever the season.
Awesome that Sydney is getting some good weather - still much too cold here in Vic to even contemplate getting to the beach!! Looking forward to summer!! :D
