Temperatures dipped so low in Maine this weekend that a man was spotted ice skating -- at the beach.

Peter and Sandra Lekousi were out for a chilly stroll on Long Sands Beach in York on Sunday when they spotted the odd scene, according to the Boston Globe. The ocean water had froze in such a way that it left a relatively flat and smooth surface for the man to skate on, so that's exactly what he did.

“It was freezing cold — too cold for us to be on the beach — and he was skating on the beach,” Sandra told the Globe.

Peter later uploaded the clip to his Facebook page, jokingly writing that "every day is a beach day in Maine."

Temperatures were recorded as low as negative 9 degrees Fahrenheit in York on Sunday, so we commend this brave soul for his commitment to skating.
