BeachWednesday - Looking to the beach activities on a windy day (and my new yellow windbreak)
Previously...
Last week I told you I broke my beach windbreak (tapa-vento) and that is as precious as a beach umbrella in some of our beaches.
Today I went to a windy beach (Praia da Vieira) and bought a new "device", I mean, windbreak!!
You can't imagine how helpful it was (!) as we are facing strong winds these last days in West coast.
With such strong wind, there aren't conditions for a swim in the ocean, and people must enjoy their beach time in other ways:
Some of them stayed behind the windbreak sleeping, talking or reading (as we did)
Sometimes I peek the waves to be sure it doesn't reach my towel
Now it's safe!
Others meditate...
Or bodyboarding
and riding waves!!
I can tell there were people playing with balls, with kite, building sand castles, playing the guitar or just walking, but I can't share those photos because I always feel a bit like a spy when doing that, and I already shot many 'other people' photos.
Weee!!
Photos were shot with a Nikon D3300 camera.
#BeachWednesday tag was initiated by @uwelang to share positive moments and stories beach related. Now it is led by @lizanomadsoul, a positive chick, and a beach lover!
This is also a submisson to @kalemandra ColorChallenge: WednesdayYellow!!

Nice photos .
You must have enjoyed so much
I tried the best I could, but with strong wind is difficult! ;)
More great shots and story! Glad you got a new windbreak.
It is a precious tool these last days!! :) Thanks!
quando volto, precisarei muito um tapa-vento! best things ever, and i had no idea they existed before i got acquainted with portuguese beaches ha. that wind is not joking!
If the wind keeps blowing like these last days, then you really must get one!! Sand is flying everywhere. The windbreak isn't enough!
love the tranquility :) enjoy your day 😎
Thanks!! The tranquility that you see in the photos was only possible in the end of the day, when half of the people left ;)
It looks like a very nice and large beach!! Enjoy your new wind break.
Ahah, I will enjoy it, is a must! :) We have lots of beaches connected to each other, it's like an endless beach. Thanks!
Enjoy your time on beautiful beach my dear! :))
How relaxing it is to look at your pictures and feel like I am on the beach with you ! ^_^
That is great!! Glad if this has that effect on you! This wonkie draw is awesome!! This seems awful and I'm sorry to ask, but have you seen my BeautifulDay post?!
