Deserted Beach

Tonight we had planned to dine out on an old paddle boat on Knysna lagoon, but after arriving at this amazing beach near Sedgefield late this afternoon we decided instead to do that next week on our return visit.

So under dramatic clouds and with sporadic sun, we walked the beach, flip-flops in hand and feet paddling in the warm Indian ocean water. At one point I stripped off (to my bikini! - come on, Scott and V were there, it wasn't that deserted!) and went for a swim. I got as far as my chest before I decided that the rip current and combined threat of sharks and blue bottled jellyfish was too much and I ventured back to shore.

The beach was amazing though. A hidden gem. Known only to locals, it doesn't appear on any tourist maps and other than a couple of surfers back near the car we had the place to ourselves.
