Some 25 miles of the ocean barrier island beach is within Archie Carr NWR.  Back toward camp, we find a dune cross-over and check it out.  The beach is deserted except for one lone fisherman. It is high tide and a strong wind out of the east brings surf much too rough for me to do any more than get my feet wet.  We find a comfy log and take a seat well beyond the waves.  Bright sun.  Crashing waves.  Salty spray.  Soft, smooth sand.  It is a feast for the senses.
