Why we love The Pier – Herald LIVE

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBk_afcrTKA&w=500&h=400]I don't make videos for my blogs.  I wish I had time to do so, but it's a luxury I don't have much of.  Instead I have to normally surf the net and in particular YouTube to find videos to post for Video Friday.  I have seen a lot of good drone footage on Facebook lately, but its not on YouTube which seems to be the hitch as Blogger pulls videos from YouTube.  But I will have a look see…

Beachfront icon

Since its revamp the pier is looking great at night, especially with the new brighter lighting.  It's actually so bright that it is possible to swim at night, like the little boy is doing.

Shark warning flag out at Hobie Beach

I could not believe my eyes at about lunch time today when I spotted a post of Facebook about a shark warning flag flying at Hobie Beach.  I just had to go and look for myself.  Jip, there it was.  Fluttering on the breeze on this warm and muggy Tuesday afternoon.  I snapped a pic (obviously the one in this post) with my phone and headed for the pier to see if I could spot the shark in question.  I…

Hobie Pier at night

The lights under the newly revamped Shark Rock Pier really lights up the water making for great photography.  That along with the spotlight on the beach could even lead to extended bathing on those hot barmy summer evenings.

Another view of the pier

Looking at Shark Rock Pier from the Boardwalk Hotel gives you a slightly different angle from the norm.  If you look at photos of the pier it's normally from either side, from on the pier itself or occasionally from the sea side.  Not often that you get a bit of a elevated view like this one I got from the hotel.
