Bird Island beach walk

After some morning projects, it was time for a beach walk. And we were checking out a place to pull out the boat for some bottom painting in the same area. Scoped out the marina then off to Bird Island Reserve, NC for a long walk. Oh my goodness what a beautiful beach it was. If you're a shell nerderler, then this was not your beach, but for us sand-seekers, it was lovely.

 Joaquin and/or a recent North-easter have eroded the sand dunes here. They're being cut away. The high tide water mark is only about 10 feet away from these dunes.

Little River Inlet SC is below as seen from Bird Island, NC. This happens to be where we left the sea and entered the ICW when we brought the boat to Little River. And the place she'll leave at the end of November.

Walking back to the board walk through the dunes, we turned around to catch this view below.

The South and North Carolina border is somewhere in this picture.

Amazing to think that it's still 2 hours before low tide.
