On Saturday 8 March there was an incredible turn out of 500 women on the beach at Sandbanks, Poole and another 500 women on Brighton beach (including our very own Ella) – 1,000 in women total joining forces to celebrate women’s friendship and empowerment.

Rosie Tanner, Director at Land & Wave, said, “It was such a joy to be surrounded by a beach of women all dancing, whopping and celebrating as one. We’re so proud to be working alongside adventure blogger, PinkNicky who’s heading up the Brighton event, in order to get a record breaking number of women on the beach to celebrate International Women’s day in this way. What a special day.”
