I went this morning to my favourite beach in Antibes and sketched people in front of me.

I follow a strategy to go to the beach there :

• I go early because it is easier to find a parking space
• There are less people early and it is not so hot
• I always carry a parasol because as I like sketching I could not do it with a glaring light. Shade is essential not just for the skin!
• I always swim to cool down and coming out of the water  I “de-salt”myself with the showers conveniently built on the beach
• I leave the beach mid morning to avoid the heat and the crowd coming in.
