Square Perspectives Photo Challenge ~ Australian Landscapes #23
Destination: Bulcock Beach, Caloundra, Sunshine Coast, Queensland
Life at the beach doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. In the middle of summer the evening air is balmy and the water is the perfect temperature.
As the eastern sky takes on a rosy sunset glow, friends and families gather for beach-side picnics.
In the west the sun sinks towards the horizon, laying down a gilt trail across the calm waters of Pumicestone Passage.
This is my favourite time of day at the beach.
While our travel plans are on hold I’m joining in every day with Becky’s July Square Perspectives Photo Challenge over at The Life of B. The rules are simple: photos must be square and fit the theme of perspective. My posts represent the definition of perspective as a vista – seeing something over distance or time.
Beautiful. Caloundra has some lovely beaches, and these are lovely photos.

The sea and the sand look perfect and that sunset just tops it all of. You’re so right about it being the best part of the day. Glorious.

Especially in summer when it’s no longer blazing hot but not cool either. Perfect for fish and chips on the beach.

It still seems cool in the evening here. Certainly not swimming temperatures! I’m sure summer evenings were much warmer in my childhood.

And I’m sure winters used to be much colder here. We get the occasional icy blast but most our the time our days are up to 17 and 18 degrees. It wasn’t like that when I was a child.

Oh my, those photos look so inviting. 🙂
I agree with Jude – summer evenings used to be warmer when I was a child, and the days were longer. I can explain the longer days because where I lived in Scotland it didn’t start to get dark until about 10pm, or later the closer it was to midsummer.

After I took these photos, we popped across the road to the fish and chips shop for some dinner, which we ate while sitting on the wall. It was wonderful.

Thanks Susi. This part of the Sunshine Coast is our favourite. It’s not as developed as other beaches and not as crowded either.

Beautiful shots, and thanks for sharing. I would love to go to the beach, but ours is wall to wall tourists so there’s no way we’ll go near there.

Good thinking, best to stay away at the moment. This was last November, so well before Covid. Having said that, we have just 5 active cases in Queensland at the moment and travel isn’t restricted so there would be people there now. It’s mid-winter here so it would look a little different.

It’s the ideal spot for a fish and chips dinner. There’s a cafe just over the road.
