Beach scene

Papa and child. This wasn't actually taken in Monaco but just along the coast in France.

The bang of the volleyball

Volleyball on Larvotto Beach.That ball makes a helluva bang when it hits the wire netting - especially if you are standing right there and taking a photo!

Larvotto

Larvotto Beach is not just for the rich and famous to sunbathe.  (Well, actually it's more likely to be the locals as the tourists don't always find Larvotto.) Here you can play volley-ball, there's a gym, you can waterski.  The kids in the centre of the photo are taking off on surfboards. Not sure what they are doing though as there are no waves!

Bucket and spade

Give a kid a bucket and spade and he's happy.

Waves crash on the rocks at Cap Martin.  In the distance you see the Principality of Monaco.

Larvotto Beach in August

Larvotto Beach in August.  Bodies, bodies.  I wonder what those two green plastic dolphins are for? (foreground left)

Larvotto Beach

Larvotto  Beach. I snapped this at the very end of April so you can be sure there are many more on the beach today.

Life's a Beach

It could be a desert island, couldn't it? In fact, it's Larvotto Beach in Monaco.

Walk on the beach

It's getting nearer to beach weather at Larvotto.

Locked-in Love

Padlocked love.  I've never seen these before in Monte Carlo. I wonder if the authorities will leave them as they do in other towns and cities.

Waiting for summer

The beach at La Roses des Vents.  Waiting for summer - spring will do ...

Walking in Water

There are always a few diehards who swim at Larvotto beach in winter.  This guy, though, is walking ... he has walked from one side of the beach to the other.

Walk on Larvotto Beach

Larvotto Beach - Hard to believe this was taken only a week ago. Since then we've had endless rain and it's still coming down ...
