Following the path to the sea

There is no reason why people should follow these buoys when walking on the beach towards the sea, but this is what they do...

How fun. Are they tide depth markers or just beach art?

@shutterbug49 It is a delineation of two areas at high tide : on the left, priority to surfers, kayakers, etc... - on the right, reserved to swimmers only

Thanks for explaining the buoys - it's such a neat solution to a problem - and they make such a nice image. The ocean seems to go on forever...

The people give perspective. Great comp!

@etienne Thanks. That’s interesting.

How unusual, what are they there for? I like this image with all that open space.

@golftragic Hi Marnie, these buoys mark the separation between the beach area with priority to surfers and the beach area reserved to swimmers

Great image

@etienne Thanks Etienne, I didn't know that. We use flags to mark that kind of thing. 'Swim between the flags' is rammed into all of us as kids.
