Today I look out of my rain-wetted window at the sea and the sky.
The waves curl, the wind sings a lonely song in the mist and
The gulls are bent slowly like an iron bar.
Tomorrow will be different.

The sunsets can be stunning but so too the early morning light, the cliffs, the dunes, the rock pools, the wildlife and the waves all beg to have a camera focussed on them.  The beach has many and ever-changing moods and will never disappoint your photography wanderings - a versatile zoom (or zooms) to cover 24 - 200mm is my preferred weapon of choice, plus filters and a sand-proof tripod.
