The Tourists Have Gone by onewing

The Tourists Have Gone

Now that the school summer holidays are over, a lot of our tourists have left and the beaches are no longer crowded.

The tourists we have here now are the people who don't have children or the fishing enthusiasts. It will get busy again at Easter though.
..... and such a beautiful and peaceful scene , Babs .

Always good to have a break. I imagine Easter is crazy busy.

I really wish I was in one of those chairs!! Great coloured water.
February 5th, 2018  
Ahhhh, a beach without the hordes. I like it.
February 5th, 2018  
I'll grab one of those Babs
February 5th, 2018  
Looks very peaceful ... nice to have the beaches back...
February 5th, 2018  
Such a beautiful and peaceful shot

Ah, grab me a beer and I'll join you on that beach looking out at the view!

Looks so inviting Babs - especially with those empty chairs. A lovely composition.
February 5th, 2018  
that looks just what I need at the moment. Must be nice to enjoy the quiet for a while
February 5th, 2018  
Beach chairs for two, looks idyllic! We always enjoyed Cyprus more when the tourists had gone!
February 5th, 2018  
Terrific capture :) We have our beaches back too!
February 5th, 2018  
Lovely scene, I'd like to be sitting on that beach right now!
February 5th, 2018  
A lovely peaceful scene. It must be wonderful when most of the tourists have gone. Having been tied to taking our holidays in the school holidays for many, many years we now always take them in term time.

Lovely peaceful and inviting scene Babs, like the pov taken from the beach running along Victoria Parade, yes I've been there brings back some great memories stayed a couple of times at the Nelson Towers Motel just peaking through the trees:)
February 5th, 2018  
How lovely and peaceful this is Babs :)
February 5th, 2018  
How I yearn for Summer. After seeing your beautiful shot I have, now, to go look for my swimming trunks to prepare them for my first dip.
February 5th, 2018  
Wonderful capture.
February 5th, 2018  
Lovely. I really like the chairs and umbrella.

Love the proportions and pop of colour with the umbrella. Enjoy the quiet.
February 5th, 2018  
Nice shot. The orange-blue combo is fab.
February 5th, 2018  
Great shot of this beautiful place. Get a bit jealous for the nice sunny weather.
February 5th, 2018  
It must be so much nicer when the tourists have gone!
February 6th, 2018

Yes, a lovely peaceful scene.

A very poignant view. Congrats on getting your beaches back.

Luckily our beaches don't really get too crowded and December and January, our summer, is the busiest time. It will get busy again at Easter, but until then it should be pretty quiet. This is in the middle of Nelson Bay, but the beach closest to our house is quiet all year round. We live outside the tourist areas and not too many people know about our local beach. shh! don't tell anyone.

@golftragic @annied This is in Nelson Bay, but the beach closest to our house never gets crowded at all. Not too many people know about our beach and we will keep it quiet. You will have to come up and pay a visit as long as you don't tell your friends where it is.
February 6th, 2018  
@carole_sandford Thanks Carole, yes some of the beaches in Cyprus used to get pretty busy didn't they. We were at Akrotiri though and the beach on camp was only for military people because it was on the Sovereign Base area so didn't get crowded. Where were you in Cyprus?
February 6th, 2018  
@pcoulson Yes Peter, you have spotted it. You will have to come out for another visit and we will take you to our local beach. We live outside the tourist area and not too many people visit our beach. Keep it quiet though we don't want tourists dropping in.
February 6th, 2018  
@onewing Sounds good to me.
February 6th, 2018  
@onewing Yes Babs, we keep saying to our relatives we will be back, I have relatives South Mission Beach, Shorncliffe near Brisbane and Manly near Sydney, quite a spread along the east side of Australia:)
February 6th, 2018  
@pcoulson That's quite a spread across Australia. How did you end up in Nelson Bay?
February 6th, 2018  
Such a beautiful location! Wonderful photo! :-)
