Lens Artists Photo Challenge #314 – Shorelines
Anne introduced this challenge by starting out with the question “Where do you find peace and relaxation?”
The rest of her introduction says “I find mine wherever water touches land. Yes, any type of shoreline. It may be a beach, a lake, a pond, a creek; you know where I’m going. I’m heading to the shore.”
I agree 100% with Anne. Wherever water touches land is where I want to be. Being near water soothes my soul.
I have thousands of shoreline images from our travels. I narrowed down my selections for this challenge to include American shorelines along the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Gulf of Mexico, and Alaska.
Here are a few Atlantic Ocean shorelines from Maine to Florida.
The next gallery features some Florida and Texas Gulf Coast shorelines.
Pacific Coast Shorelines from the United States west coast and Hawaii.
I’ll finish with some Alaska Shorelines.
Many thanks to our host Anne for her challenge Lens-Artists #314 – Shorelines

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #203 – Local Vistas
The Georgia coast is about 110 miles long and includes 15 barrier islands, miles of salt marsh, the city of Savannah, historic towns, and beautiful beaches. Jekyll, St. Simons, Sea and Tybee are the only islands accessible by car. The rest of Georgia’s islands can only be reached by boat. Cumberland Island National Seashore and Sapelo Island can each be reached by ferry.
Tybee Island is Georgia’s northernmost barrier island. Just 20 minutes east of downtown Savannah, Tybee is a popular tourist destination with miles of beach, many fun restaurants, the tallest lighthouse in Georgia, and Fort Pulaski National Monument and Cockspur Island Lighthouse nearby.
South of Savannah, St. Simons and Sea Island are the next islands that can be reached by road. With miles of beach, a village area by the fishing pier, Ft. Frederica National Monument, and golf courses, St. Simons is a popular beach destination.
The southernmost island that can be reached by road is Jekyll Island. Jekyll Island was once the winter home for many of America’s wealthiest families. Visitors to Jekyll can see many of these historic homes, ride bikes on its many bike trails, and enjoy its beautiful driftwood beach. Jekyll Island is owned by the state of Georgia.
Most of Sapelo Island is owned by the state of Georgia and is one of the barrier Islands that can only be reached by boat. A ferry runs from near the town of Darien.
Ancient Live Oaks dripping in Spanish Moss, spring Azaleas, salt marsh, waterways, shrimp boats, fresh seafood, and wild life are all part of what makes coastal Georgia so special.
