Higgins Beach

Scarborough

Higgins Beach here I come-tides still a bit high! Love it!
At Higgins enjoying the waves-tide is coming in and it's very foggy out here, but the water is warm.
This Icon, I can't get enough of. It's like a ghostly ship docked for the mourning of the tides and tourists. It calls me to it each time I'm alone on the beach. It's calming yet disturbing at the same time for private reasons. It is- the Breakers for many reasons to many people and to the sea. krg 12
I'd you look in the far ground you'll see the Breakers Inn for all those "thankers" and wish destinations
Another great point of view of this B&B looking back from laying on the beach below the rocks.
