I awoke to the sound of the seagulls squawking yesterday about 7 am. I had been up late the night before catching flounder, a sting ray & large blue crab, which made an excellent grilled seafood dinner. Although I had never been much of a morning person, the gulls wake me up every morning like clockwork now. I walked the dogs and about 8 am my friend Sara stopped by to invite me to go to the beach.
The day started out somewhat overcast so we headed south toward St. Augustine to try to find the sun. We decided to go to Crescent Beach, a beautiful wide powder white beach where you can park your vehicle directly on the beach.
Tourist Tip: Your vehicle makes an excellent wind block and can make a cool beach day much more comfortable when the clouds block the sun.
We spent most of the day at Crescent Beach taking long walks, watching the surfers, kite surfers, sea shell hunting and enjoyed a picnic lunch on the beach. The sun came out nicely and it was a great day.
I decided to show Sara some of my favorite spots on the intracoastal waterway and other beaches as we drove south toward Marineland before coming home. We stopped at a nice beach near the Matansas Inlet, walking over the long boardwalk above the dunes. Next stop was Summer Island on the intracoastal side where it is rumoured that Sean Connery owns a house. Finally we visited the beach at Marineland. This section of the island is extremely narrow and you see both the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway while driving down A1A. A beautiful view and great way to end a nice day.
