Description

Captured this today on a trip out in the car. It was on these beaches that the US Army practiced for their D Day landings during the WW2.

More like Broad Beach. Those waves are rolling in like they've been churned out by some machine. Impressive scene and an outstanding capture.

Awesome zoooomed. Is that a surfer on the right? What did the ocean say to the beach? Nothing, it just waved.
