I still remember the first time I ever saw snow on a beach, and how magical it was. It was on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and a good amount of snow had fallen the night before. I awoke to a very cold morning with crystal clear skies. A quick walk down to the beach revealed it to be covered in snowy dunes – just amazing.

Since it’s that time of year, I thought I’d share some beautiful photos of snowy beaches. Special, right?

We’ll start with one of my favorite scenes - Carolina Beach blanketed in snow. So peaceful looking!

Carolina Beach, North Carolina -- beautiful but it looks absolutely frigid!

Here’s one all the way from Dormoch, Scotland. I bet they play golf in the white stuff as well!

Dormoch, Scotland - more than kilts required in this weather.

I selected this one for its artistic quality. There’s something so calming about the way the plants are gently bending in the breeze, and you can sense that there is water just over the ridge.This is of Colonial Beach in Virginia.
