I'm not as interested in the normal white-sand beaches of the Atlantic, although they're pretty...
I just love to see the water...
...and the wildlife! We saw all sorts of birds. Willets...
Gulls...
Egrets...
Snowy plovers...
...and pelicans! I loved to watch them dive for fish.
Lots of unusual wildlife! ;)
Fishermen lined the shore, hoping for a nice haul.
Dogs frolicked...
...and surfers aimed for a good wave!
I found horseshoe crabs...
...and pretty shells.
By the way, those horseshoe crab tails aren't venomous. They use them to help navigate through the water!
Hurricane Matthew caused terrible damage to this island. Even two years later, many of the trails were closed, and trees were uprooted along the coastline. It had a very stark beauty.
We clambered over the trees and hiked to the salt marshes, just slightly inland.
We saw more birds, and kayakers, too. This place is a kayaker's dream!
It was nice to get some hiking miles under our belts in such a nice location, and the 70 degree temperature was perfect.
Have a great week!
