we hit the beach at about 0530. it was dark when we reached the place . the sun came up after 0600 . as the beach is on the western coast there was no sun rise in the classical sense that is to say ovr the horizon , the sun came up from behind .........

the beach was longe rthan we expected . three of us rode into the beach . soon we got busy clicking pics ... so much so that we missed a big wave that hit my bike and the sand beneath eroded around the stand and the bike fell... leaving sand on the whole left side.... the pics are in the album.
