One of the surfing beaches at Elandsbaai

Not ideal for family fun, we discovered. The surfers beach near our accommodation was a long walk through the dunes and sand to get to it, and the little beach with the rock pools we had discovered the previous day was under water with the high tide, so we tried this beach where we could park the car close. But the sea was very rough with a strong back wash. Fun for Maddy until I fell over with a big rogue wave. Although her mother was holding her tight, and although I came up laughing, Maddy got a huge fright and didn't want to go into the sea any longer.
Lovely shot of Maddy. The ocean can be very dangerous at times, good that it ended well.

@ludwigsdiana Thank you. Yes indeed, the ocean can be very dangerous, even when one is not far in. We were just knee depth when the rogue wave came in and swept way up the beach. Thank goodness Nicole was holding onto Maddy

@narayani Thank you. Perhaps a good thing - she is learning that the ocean can be a dangerous place
