We can hardly believe that we have come to live where we are so close to such lovely beaches and this one,\u00a0in particular, that is the closest.\u00a0 We are entertained most evenings by a crowd of surfers who arrive at around 6 pm, just as the waves are starting to swell &#8211; many are very talented, some are learning and quite a few are there for the fun of riding their body boards.\u00a0 Today we became very aware of the number and spread of rocks throughout the area where much of the surfing is done. It looks very dangerous because, even at high tide, if a surfer is thrown off a wave, he\/she could be killed if dashed against these rocks. When the weather is fine, we head over to the beach, bring a picnic, sit for a while, have a walk, it is totally energising\u00a0and invigorating.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140013.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3730\" src=\"http:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140013.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"931\" height=\"524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140013.jpg 4320w, https:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140013-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140013-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140013-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 931px) 100vw, 931px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">The surfers&#8217;\u00a0playground!<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140016.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3732\" src=\"http:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140016.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"923\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140016.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140016-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140016-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140016-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 923px) 100vw, 923px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Beaches are rarely crowded.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140021.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3737\" src=\"http:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140021.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"920\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140021.jpg 4320w, https:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140021-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140021-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140021-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140025-e1524179209584.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3740 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140025-e1524179209584.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"679\" height=\"1206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140025-e1524179209584.jpg 2432w, https:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140025-e1524179209584-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140025-e1524179209584-768x1364.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.centreoftheuniverse.co.uk\/v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/P1140025-e1524179209584-576x1024.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">I took both of these photos of the sun on the sea &#8211;
