Many fond memories of beaches all along our coastline, sadly decay has taken it's toll, one shudders thinking the beauty that once was.

We were thinking the exact same thing as we drove along the Marine Parade last week for the first in a long while. I wanted to take photos at Moses Mabhida during sunset, but was stopped as you apparently aren't allowed to take photos with a camera. You may take photos with you mobile phone though...🤦‍♂️. My phone was on charge in the car where my wife was waiting for me, so we left.

So, I thought of going to the Sun Coast Casino and get some photos there. But what a disappointment! With empty liquor bottles on the lawn in front of the casino going to the beach... I don't think that will make nice photos...

So we left again in disappointment, driving down the Marine Parade... in disgrace. We were also talking about what it was like many years ago and look what it's like now...

St Lucia hits all the right notes with beaches, sea and wildlife, a rare spot to visit.

We seriously need to go up that way again...
