We rode our bikes to the dune trail and hiked on it. The island has three zones, the beach, the dunes/ forest and marsh.
Dune trail. John is walking on what is left of Baltimore Ave. A developer had put a road from one end of the island to the other and put in 9,000 lots. Then in 1962 the hurricane destroyed the island and it became a park. Too bad, how sad, I am glad there are not 9,000 houses here. Loblolly pines grow in the dunes. This edge, the closest to the ocean gets a lot of wind and salt spray, so the trees are shorter and wind trimmed.
They have lots of cones. The berries of this bayberry bushes are what they make the candles out of.
Sanderlings and gulls in the surf. A stand up paddler on the waves.
I walked out the forest trail to the marsh on the bay side at sunset. I saw this deer and this sunset.
I saw this white tailed deer on the way back.
