BEACHES!
Favourites From My 2021-22 Collection.
Welcome to Denyse Whelan’s Substack.
BEACHES!
Honestly, trying to find favourites is hard.
However, as lover of the beach, the ocean …and more I am sharing some images from
‘the covid years’.
Living on the Central Coast of New South Wales during the covid years was a good/not so good thing. The access to nature, particularly the beaches on the coast, was a balm for my loneliness.
The loneliness that I am guessing we all recall…when there were both travel restrictions and mixing with others too.
Here’s my PICK from 2021 and 2022.
I could get down to Sydney at times to visit my dear Dad who suffered from the isolation and loneliness during Covid times. I admit I also used those times as reasons to visit my lovely northern beaches too.
Sometimes I would make a video of the surf for Dad. He LOVED beach and sand walking until access stopped him because of his disappearing vision and legs which were compromised. Manly Beach..here shot by me from the walkway to Fairy Bower and Shelley Beach.
More from Sydney’s Beaches….
Back To The Central Coast of New South Wales.

Hope you enjoyed the views!

Lovely beach pics Denyse - I seem to have lost my love of beaches as I've gotten older - I like them on a mild, sunny day - but not in the winter wind and rain, and not in the searing summer heat. Give me a little shade and shelter and a beach view and I'm happy.
We came to Sydney (and Melbourne/Brisbane) in 1986 as Rob had a couple of weeks work to do there and I remember loving Shelley Beach. We're about 3 hours from a beach being right in the centre of England, but go to our favourite place, Wells Next The Sea regularly. Covid was such a strange and difficult time, but we moved on board NB Grace in June 2021, so that was an exciting time for us 🩶
