Number 93: Barefoot on Chintsa Beach

Our favorite spot, the 'green' pavement stones.

A holiday week here in Chintsa with the Tudhopes and the opportunity to spend many hours each day on a perfect beach walking barefoot.
 
I am collecting beach walking hours.

Number 93:

Barefoot on Chintsa Beach.

It is more than 25 years since I set foot on Chintsa Beach. We were doing the Strandloper Trail with the kids and the Krone family, the gang had set out from Morgans Bay and 5 days later the trail ended in Gonubie. 

I can still remember this magnificent stretch of pristine coastline and in particular this beach. It stretches uninterrupted for over 10 kilometers, it's wonderfully wide, firm and flat with high vegetated dunes along its length.

It's been full moon, so the tidal difference is significant and low tide has been in the morning. So we start off early after coffee and a rusk, walk a 100m to the beach, take off our slops and head off barefoot to spend a couple of hours walking - perfection.

Joy of hours walking Chintsa Beach

And of course, I have kept track of the numbers - 16 hours and 80 kilometers.
