Beach Day

Let’s have a beach day!  We trekked up to the North End beach at low tide to see what we could see.

Which was a lot!   Here are sea biscuits.  The one on the left is dry and dead – but pretty; the one on the right is furry with soft spines – but alive.

Here are sea stars.

 

And a beautifully hued conch.

With a little conch inside, peering out.

And finally the entire conch came out to see what was going on.  They sure look odd.  So beautiful on the outside and so slug-like on the inside.

Here’s a video of the conch: https://youtu.be/1gPsd3VHAeY

Then we saw this green “thing” in the water which spewed bright red ink at us.

The ink spread and dissipated.

Here’s the spewing “thing.”  It’s called a sea hare.

And one lone sand dollar – brown and alive.

A gorgeous day exploring the local sea life.
