A few days ago I was reading a favourite blog friends post about beaches, and something seemed familiar. I’ve seen photos of many wonderful places since I’ve been blogging, it’s great to see parts of the world I’ll probably never get to visit in reality. Australia is one of those places and Eurobodalla beach in particular, and yet I feel a connection. So when Meg posted images of Broulee beach I looked through my photos to try to find out why. 
These rows where Dido and Daisy are paddling remind me of Meg’s beach 
As does this crisscrossing in the rock. 
and the view at Hartland is rather like Narooma!
And these are similar to Meg’s Smugglers Cove photos. 
Craggy rocks with winkles. 
Crops of determined little flowers 
Even surfers, but I expect they are colder than any near Meg. Pay a visit to Meg and see if you don’t agree with me, Hartland in North Devon has a lot in common with these beaches in New South Wales. To find Hartland on a map of the UK, first find South Wales, then go due south.

Your Hartland photos look so different to mine! Then I never saw any sand as I didn’t consult the tide charts 😦

Such a very dramatic coastline though.
I do love low tide 🙂 you’ll have to go back!
No doubt we will. I loved that region. A bit too remote to live there permanently, but gorgeous to visit.
Lovely images of this coastline 🙂
It’s a stunning area Sue!
😀
These images are similar in a lot of ways. Who knew? Oh my. ❤
I find it fascinating 🙂
Funny how beaches all around the world can have similarities yet still be very different. I like your beach shots Gypsy.
Thanks Leanne 🙂
A thoughtful post Gilly. I suppose we only have one earth so there are bound to have similarities. You are such a good observer.
Thanks for giving me another perspective…
Seeing other people’s worlds – even ones 100 miles away is the joy of blogging for me 🙂
An amazing likeness except in the colour of the sky!!!!
We do get really blue skies, that just wasn’t one of those days 🙂
I adore beach photos. Yours are wonderful, Gilly. They make me want to drive to the beach right now. Warm temps here – 80. 😊
I’m really jealous, it was frosty here yesterday morning, but spring is here ❤
Gilly, you obviously have a very good pictorial memory of the beaches you love. I do see similarities between your Hartland beach pics and Megs. So perfect for Dido and Daisy to go exploring. 🙂
Thanks Sylvia and yes the dogs like beaches almost as much as the woods – they like to roll in stinky shells and bones!
Have never seen anything like the crisscrossing on the rocks Gilly! You are fortunate to live close to such stunning beaches.
I love to travel Madhu but I’m also very aware of how wonderful little England is ❤ especially Devon, I'm lucky indeed.
We share the same beaches the world over, don’t we, Gilly? I love the comparisons. 🙂
Yes, and that same water in those rock pools might have been splashing off Hartlepool or the Algarve as well!
Good post. I love beaches and mountains. Hugs, Barbara
