Attunement, connectedness and an 'in tune-ness' with places have repeatedly been proposed to be central to sustainable, reciprocal human-environment relations and in turn, wellbeing. In this paper, I examine young people's emplaced and embodied attunements with local beaches bordering the neighbourhoods in which they live. More specifically, the possibilities of participatory photo-talk approaches for sensing and accessing people's attunements to beachplaces are proposed. Participants' views on using photo-talk approaches are foregrounded, including the prompt and momentum given to exploring embodied feelings and experiences. The ways that photo-talk supported a shared exploration of the diverse relational entanglements of human and more-than-human beach entities are also considered. In turn, the value of such approaches for helping to 'show' and 'feel' place-specific understandings and practices of beaching, including mutually constituted wellbeing a/effects, is proposed. Following in the footprints of others, I suggest the methodological and pedagogical potential of photo-talk approaches to researchers and educators in sport, health, physical education and leisure settings when examining embodied and emplaced experiences of wellbeing.
