We took Suzi for a walk along our promenade at Cleethorpes on quite a misty day. The tide was up and local people were out enjoying a rare day without any wind, some were on the water Paddle Boarding. This is a relatively new activity to Cleethorpes.

| Paddle boarders out on the water. You have to wade a long way out to get any depth here. |
 |
| These buoy markers are to mark the safe swimming areas, water skiers aren't allowed here. |
 |
| On the left is "Brighton Slipway" where the RNLI Inshore Lifeboat is launched from. The lady there was taking a photo on her 'phone. |
 |
| A different lady, walking here dog and having a conversation on her "dog & bone"!! |
 |
| The tide is gently coming in and lapping over the boardwalk. |
 |
| Wading birds are here most of the year but large number are now arriving from the Arctic. |
 |
| A family of swans arrived, I'm always surprised to see Swans on saltwater, but we do see quite a few from time to time. I decided to photograph them as they approached me. |
 |
| The swans decided I had nothing for them and soon left. |
 |
| The mist lifted briefly to allow a colourful view of our Pier, I preferred the mist. |
 |
| People dog walking along the beach and some paddle boarders out on the water. |
 |
| A last look along the promenade toward our Leisure centre before we headed home. I've said before that I prefer our town in the off season, we get it to ourselves and can enjoy leisurely walks along the promenade or beach. Olympus EM10 Mk2 + 12-40mm Pro lens. |
Paddle boarding seems to have become very popular - though I've never tried it I like the mistiness in your early photos, gives the pictures a different dimension. Agree entirely about the pleasure of the off season, when visiting popular beaches, villages and towns, so much more relaxing. Have a good week, I hear Christmas is coming soon! Good wishes.
