Yesterday evening after work, my family and I went swimming at our nearest beach. Our nearest beach is Nasholim beach.

Small and large sea coves to explore, baby fish that you can either chase between the rocks or allow to nibble on your dead skin, a huge collection of sea shells and waves that are often large enough for surfing.
