Londoners remain blessed by living in a city close to stunning scenery and beautiful beaches on the Kent and Sussex coasts, writes Paul Coleman.

For instance, Camber Sands, the beach of Camber village, near the medieval East Sussex town of Rye.

On a sunny, breezy Saturday afternoon (18 October), Camber Sands' vast and accreting sand dune system offers perfect conditions for kite flyers, kitesurfers and kite landboarders (above).

Vast and open

No worries, though, for people without a kite.

They just fly hearts.

And, simply stroll along the sand, and paddle in the surf.
Stretching mind, body and spirits.

Happily, these vast skyscapes and tranquil sandy spaces expand just two hours from most parts of London. 

Camber Sands - a special place where sun, sea, clouds and climate paint a powerfully poetic reminder that we live in a Universe of endless wonder.
