The beaches of the Outer Banks in North Carolina are full of ghost crabs. These small crabs dig holes in the sand and roam the beaches looking for just about anything to eat.
Mussels On The Beach
The beaches of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula tend to be rockier and much colder than those on the East Coast of the United States. Â But if you enjoy walking along the coast they provide some great opportunities to explore.
Building A Cairn
The smooth, flat rocks on this Washington beach were prefect for stacking into cairns.
Home At Last
Despite the rough surf and rocks of Panalu’u Bay, Hawaii the beach is frequented by Green Sea Turtles.  These two were taking a well deserved rest on the black sand after braving the conditions to make it to the beach.
Just Above The Waves
I love watching pelicans glide effortlessly over the ocean.  They hang in the air, sometimes just inches off the water, bobbing up and down with the passing waves.
Grackle In The Surf
This Grackle seems to have learned a few things from the Sanderlings on North Carolina’s Outer Banks.  It waited for the waves to bring tiny mollusks and crustaceans into the shore and then tried to catch them before they dug into the sand.  I captured this image just as the Grackle realized the wave was a little too big.
