The tide, either it’s the distance it recedes or the height, is the 7th in the world. It’s kind of amazing how far the water recedes but also…..
….what is left behind on the sand and in tide pools.
A local, who walks the beach each day with a garbage bag collecting trash, identified the silver cluster as octopus eggs.
After spending time exploring, I ascended in the elevator. The other side, away from the beach is interesting too.
My friend and I went on a 3 mile walk that included the above bird, maybe sunning itself as it stood in that pose for quite awhile.
With the tide down, the walk required us to navigate the pools, which was fun.
Then we headed into town to check out the retail environment, get harangued by way too many street vendors and stop for a morning drink.
On our return, we stopped at a very cool restaurant having a creative name. I even bought a logged T-shirt.
Extending from the beach, beside the restaurant was this pier. Built to accept cruise ships but the project was abandoned. That’s an issue here, several buildings and projects long abandoned.
The sunsets, of course, are glorious.
