Weekly Photo Challenge: Sun, here are photos I took of the sun shining on the ocean and beach. I was sitting on the warm sand with the sun shining on me as the waves washed over the beach, and listening to the sound of ocean when I took the photos.
sun, ocean and sand at Pacifica’s beach
The photos were taken at Pacifica, which runs along six miles of California coast and beach, and has wonderful Mediterranean style weather.
The sun takes center stage as it shimmers on the water.
Do you have a favorite beach? A well-remembered place by the ocean or sea?

Nice… I can feel the warmth.
My fav beach is in Cuba… powdery soft sands and green blue waters… I also remember a fresh water lake we went to in Eastern Canada as a kid with fine grains of orangish rock… the water looked like orange kool-aid!
Sounds like a beautiful place.
Beaches are always the best… soothing for the soul 🙂
The sun and ocean are always a perfect combination.
yes 🙂

Crane Beach in Barbados, Keawakapu Beach in Maui, and the entire Oregon Coast!
They all sound beautiful, I’ve the Oregon Coast and you are right!
My happy place
everyone should have one 🙂
The Oregon and California coast are magical. I did a trip down HWY 101 from Northern Oregon to Southern Cali and it was one of the most beautiful, exciting, serene and relaxing drives. Getting clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl after a surf or fueling up on eggs benny just before one, ahh it takes me back! Thanks for sharing the photos!
I have fond memories of my trip. It’s so incredibly beautiful, and I couldn’t agree with you more. The seafood and salmon by the beach at the little take out shacks. 🙂
Sure do! It’s called Tavira in the Eastern Algarve, and I’ll be back there soon. Beautiful pics!
The sounds of the ocean hitting against the shore and seagulls flying up in the beautiful blue skies is pure paradise. I visit my beloved Manasota beach too many time a week to mention. It is a tranquil respite to shed all of life’s issues. Your photo are mesmerizing. The colors are spectacular. Hypnotizing …. eye candy …!!!!!
That sounds like a beautiful sanctuary by the water and the dunes Midwest paradise I go too. Thanks for sharing your special place.
I grew up visiting the shores of Lake Michigan, but your photos would very beautiful even if they did not touch a fond childhood memory.
Thank you. 🙂 I know what you mean. Playing the lakeshore and looking for shells and colored rocks; and seeing the lighthouse and wanting to go to the top of it and look out.
Beautiful!
