This is the amusing moment a 1-year-old has a bad experience whilst sunbathing on a beach as a wave knocks her down.

The footage, captured on a beach in Gold Coast, Australia, shows the little girl sitting by the seashore when suddenly a small wave comes in and engulfs her.

The dad writes: ''I was relaxing with my one-year-old daughter at the beach.

''The tide was shallow and she was getting a kick out of the small waves coming in.

''I stood back for a wider angle and with all my focus on the camera screen I failed to notice the faster and higher approaching wave.''

I was relaxing with my one year old daughter at the beach. The tide was shallow and she was getting a kick out of the small waves coming in. I stood back for a wider angle and with all my focus on the camera screen I failed to notice the faster and higher approaching wave. Wham. The phone went off as I went to save her. Lucky for me her grandmother was standing not far behind her to save the day. No injuries, actually cleaned out her sinuses.
Ps I couldn't get the date function that you requested to work on my phone FYI it was in April 2017
