Secret Beach #11
Uploaded: January 09, 2006
A surfer thought I was taking photos of the surfers and the 12 foot waves and then said said to get off his beach. He said that he didn't want me to tell everyone about this secret spot. At first I thought he was going to rob me but then learned he was just a paranoid local trying to keep people away from "his heaven". After explaining to him that I considered this beach to be my heaven also he left me alone. I didn't like his attitude but I could see his point. The beaches magical soul does not need to be strpped by thousands of tourists. This is why these photos are called secret beach.
