To the sands of Cornwall.

And nearer home in North Yorkshire.

However beaches are meant to be played on like this one more that 50 years ago (that's the nearest I'm allowed to date it)

Some years later in the 1970s, I get in on the act. Note the flared trousers.

| The Scotneys and Andrew, their younger son |
A few years earlier it was a case of someone taking charge.

| Sandsend again. (Bob, Adrian, Andrew, Rachel laying down the law) |
Same beach on a different day, some years later.

Apart from empty beaches we can even find an unusually empty sea.

If you wish to get more sand between your toes and other unmentionable places then catch a wave and surf over to Sepia-Saturday-202.

WooHoo, your beached photos rock in my eyes. Great photos to treasure!...and share!
Ooh, look at you all dapper in your hipster pants and belt!
I must say, you do look rather chilly in that next one though. Was the sea cold?
Cornwall is one of my most favourite places overseas. I would love to visit there again.
I love that "Rachel, laying down the law", bit. She and I would probably get on.
Well done, Angus!
Some sharp beach photos!
Gorgeous pictures of empty beaches & ocean! At Crantock, Cornwall it appears the tide is out & will come in all the way up the beach when it does? I'm sure your son & grandkidlets in the one picture are beginning to build a sand castle, but it looks, in the photo, to be a giant Hershey's Kiss. Yum - except it would be a bit gritty!
We've got some great beaches here in Maine, Bob....but we don't have anything like Angus on them!
I love empty beaches. Love the pix.
Well I especially liked the empty sands of Lake Michigan, reminds me of the summers I spent there as a child...a great selection of beaches and folks.
Go Angus! Tell him I live near Bells at Jan Juc. He'll know what I mean.
Great to see some photos of the big empty beaches too.
Nice photos, although from the look of some of the people , the weather at the time was a bit chilly,!
Great beach shots - we have lots like that in Australia.
Congrats to Angus, will we see him in Australia soon?
I live near Manly / Freshwater / Narrabeen where they have the odd surf classic. My massage therapist is also that of Layne Beachley - again, tell Angus, he'll know who I mean.
Well Done and Congratulations to Angus.
Some wonderful photos there too.
Great family shots, but you look so cold. Come to Australia Bob, where the sun is warm, the sand is white and the water oh so blue.
Would love to spend my day at any one of those beaches.
I didn't know they had beach bums in the UK.
You certainly look chilly - I can see your goosepimples! Lovely empty beach shots. Congratulations to Angus.
I've never seen the Great Lakes, but I've heard they are so big they really look like oceans. I like the photo of the beach with the boulders -- instant seating if you forgot a blanket!
What's this business about "allowed to" Allowed to ??? A most interesting sequence of photos.
Best British Beach post of the week, Bob. (Lake Michigan can be included as it's easily as cold as the sea at Cornwall)
Great beach pics Bob. Plus the one and only pic of a 'young' Adrian I have seen!:-)Well done Angus again.
