The first 15 miles driving on the sand went pretty well. But then...
Getting stuck
Getting stucker!
Luckily, we discovered that our 4 wheel drive wasn't fully engaged, so once that was fixed we proceeded through some very soft sand to past the 20 mile marker. This was 20 miles of unpopulated, undeveloped, natural beach. The sand gradually turned into thousands and thousands of tiny shells.
Instead of sand
Of course, I took pictures of the usual beach things:
A jellyfish
My favorite - a sandpiper
Seagull
Tucker playing in the surf
Sid and Nipper on the way to fish
How many fishermen does it take to unhook a fish?
A pompano
A whiting
A Spanish mackerel
Fish tales?
Cleaning the catch
We found a few shells, but they were mostly common, small shells. Big Shell beach didn't have ANY big shells on it but I did find a whole sand dollar, so I was happy with that.
This was the view out the truck on the way back. The fog had set in and the tide had come up, so we were driving very close to the water.
Until we couldn't drive any further.
