Beach Fun

We took a walk along the beach at low tide the other evening and discovered some fascinating little creatures called coquinas. (koh-keen-uh .... accent on the keen) The waves wash them up onto the sand and they look like pretty little multi-colored pebbles. Then the "pebbles" seem to sink down into the sand and disappear. On closer look though, you can see that these pebbles are actually alive and purposely burying themselves.













We also walked up to one of the fishing piers, giving us a good view down the coast line. We enjoyed seeing what the locals were catching, an angel fish of some kind, a mackerel and even a baby shark (which was promptly thrown back).




It sure is fun living in a beach town for a couple of weeks. I can see us spending a whole summer here at some point in the future.

Tomorrow, we plan to spend the afternoon at the beach again. Oh, the monotony.
