Once we'd parked, we began what felt to un-fit me to be the Long March to the Sea. We walked through the small tourist market, full of stores and cafes, to a road that started out flat but then went up and over a sand dune forever and ever, till we came to a cluster of hotels and cafes and beyond them, the beach! Phew!
Out of breath, taking each step with trouble, stopping with the camera became my excuse for a much slower pace, and here are some of the photos I paused to take.
And finally, the beach!

After walking forever and ever (or so it seemed!), we got our first glimpse of the sea.
With so much green on the dunes, it is hard to forget that's what they are. In fact, it is these dunes that remind me on each trip how similar Michigan (and the Great Lakes) area is to the Netherlands, and how easy it is to see how Dutch settlers felt right at home in that landscape.
And finally, the beach!
