A Florencia Bay Beach Walk

Yesterday morning, the rain had stopped, and Marcelle suggested that we should go for a beach walk. When I asked her to make the decision as to which beach she preferred, she named Florencia Bay, which I had to admit, I had forgotten. There are two approaches to Florencia, one to the south, which has a shitload of stairs, and another just off the Wick Beach road, which is more direct and less cumbersome (for the physically challenged among us).

So, off we went, and were gratified to see that the wave rating for the day was Extreme, which is always exciting! We reached the beach a couple of hours after high tide, and spent a couple of hours walking north from the trailhead. Here are some images from that walk.

 

 

 

 

 

 

All in all, just a lovely beach, and we had it virtually all to ourselves, seeing only two other couples and a smiling dog.
