One of the things I love about summer is a walk on the beach. One of the things I don’t love about summer is a walk on the beach when it is crowded!
So I set out early this morning to go for a quiet and FREE walk on the beach, before they start charging $10-$15 to park.
There were some clouds this morning, but it was quite pleasant. When I arrived and started my walk, I saw one woman all set up, enjoying the quiet time, along with a few joggers.
The Beach is Quiet if You Go Early
As three joggers passed me, the sun began to break through the clouds.

There were some kayakers out on the water, and one lone kayak still on the beach…maybe someone didn’t show up?

Even the seagulls seemed to be enjoying their solitary time.

By the time I finished my walk, there were more people staking out their spots for the day. It was low tide and experienced beach-goers know that when the tide comes in, there will be very little sand left, so they pick a spot by the sea wall. Maybe they went to get coffee or breakfast???
