The Hunting Island beach is beautiful. Great for walking, hanging out in twisted downed trees, finding sand dollars but crappy fishing! Check out the BLOG!

We were bundled up good for our first few walks on the beach in early Feb. Just enough sand left to get back to the campground.

Warmer day, lower tide

The weekend it was in the 80s, was busy on the beach

P2240006

Lots of kids were in the water….still way too cold for us although Dave was seriously considering it this day.

All this stuff was set up by a group filming a movie.

P2220023

Fun with shells and photography….

When the tide went out at the north end of the beach you could walk for miles. Just had to make sure you got back before it came in.

I did most of my walks in barefeet and this ripply sand was hard to cross. Actually bruised my feet because it was so hard.

Lots of different patterns...

Lots of sandwriting too

This slimy looking thing is a toad fish. Not sure why but one morning found it somehow crawling away from the surf. Wasn’t going to touch it to turn it around either.

P2250014

Different looking jelly

P2270067

Lots of old dead trees in the graveyard at the south end of the beach

P2270071

Tide was way out this day but damm it was windy….as evidenced by the fact that Dave’s foot has disappeared into the blowing sand.

The score after one of my walks. Sand dollars were common, the welk shells few and far between

P2230023

Some days I picked up trash too, even some brand new sponges!

P2280002

This was everything I collected during my walks in Feb. Most sand dollars ever. Have since preserved them in glue and water….now I just have to figure out what to do with them???

P2060003

Fishing at the lagoon….no luck

P2060006

This was just the other side of the lagoon, the destroyed road to the cabin

P2060009

Unusable. The owners can’t get to it (obviously!) so it’s just getting beaten down by mother nature.

P2060043

This little racoon was hoping we caught something this day too!

P2100021

Surf fishing over the steel groin. Deeper water on the other side, someone told us fish hang out there, still notta!

P2140019

Trying our luck at Johnsons creek, it empties in to the ocean and was easy to walk to from the campground. Nothin'

P2260036

This is where that creek empties into the ocean and at low tide we saw little fish here and it looked deeper so had potential for big fish. How about NO fish!
