A Beach at Dusk

This beach is just in front of the market building. The area in the background was reclaimed from the sea, trees added - et voila! The sand on the beach is imported - most beaches around here have pebbles. If you look carefully to the right of the three trees, you'll see the statue of Ulysse, which you can find in close-up HERE.

  3. At first I couldn't quite put my finger on the impression, but, of course, it's pastels!!

  4. I remember the pebbly beaches in Cannes and Nice. I only saw (among other things) sandy beaches in Marseilles and Bandul.

  8. Hi Jilly,

    Everyone seems to be fully clothed on this beach, unlike what I saw in Antibes.

  9. Pebly beaches are not my favourites as you can imagine... Anyhow I'm heading to Greece, provided the fires allow me to! Meanwhile I leave you in Bali at Blogtrotter. Enjoy!

  10. Beautiful photo and interesting explanation ... Upon reflection I remember that our (South Carolina) wonderful sandy beaches are the result of very expensive renourishment projects ... Maybe Al Gore is right and global warming is raising the ocean levels.
