We took a drive down the beach road at First Encounter Beach and were surprised at how steep the dunes had gotten over the winter. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
It looks like it would be hard for anyone to climb up there, especially with beach gear.
Not even a footprint in the sand. Have you driven down there lately?
I’ve always wondered what those orange buoys were for at First Encounter Beach. It just didn’t make sense to have these orange buoys so close to shore. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
And then we stopped there the other day and saw all of the tire tracks in the sand and it all made sense. Do you know what those buoys are for?
These orange buoys are like a road map that the trucks drive through at low tide to reach their oyster beds way out in the flats. What an ingenious idea! You can see the orange buoys and tire tracks in all 3 of the images (if you look close enough), and the tire tracks through the sand that leads out from the parking lot.
