As Summer approaches more and more people are leaving their caves and exploring the great outdoors. The Lions Bay public beach is the most popular place for residence to spend their lazy summer days. After you park on the nearby road and walk down to the beach, you are greeted warmly with an overhead welcome sign. As you move along there are stairs right in front of you and to your left is a small grass field. On either side of the stairs there is a playground. Going down the stairs reveals the beautiful beach in all its glory. A gentle downhill slope of grass leads to the sandy beach.

During the summer, a dock (secured by chains) floats about 30 feet out into the ocean. A sign declares “No Diving” but all the locals know its perfectly safe to dive when the tide is up. Lots of usually kids play a game of last man standing on the dock. Basically they try to toss everyone off. Meanwhile, the real men try their luck at the most difficult summer activity ever. Log rolling. The goal is to stand up on the slime covered log and stay standing for as long as you can. I can usually last 20 seconds, but my friend has developed his log rolling skill far beyond everyone else. He can make his way along each of the logs all the way to the dock without getting wet. Now thats impressive.
