Nun of your beaches

I've come to realize something very coincidentally-astounding over the past week, and that is, from most of random sources, even when they don't actually state where they got their images from, more and more of them I end up eventually finding at this vast repository.

So, like the quoted image, I eventually discovered it in time to have a caption, date, and photographer to add to it in order give some context to the photograph.

Three nuns play in the ocean surf near Grayland.

A nun (or person dressed as a nun) strolls along Lucy Vincent Beach, a notorious nude bathing beach,
on Martha's Vineyard. Several men, waist deep in the surf, watch her pass by reading a book.
