first splash
what low tide looks like
about ten feet off the morning bike path
the usual afternoon squall
Sunrise on Leaving Day...why is the last day always gorgeous?
SIx days of boats, boards and beaches in Glynn County GA.
A place where seven feet of tidal range exposes hundreds of acres of sandy tidal flats and pools. Walking out to the surf zone gives a chance to see a lot of rays and even a 5-6 foot black-tipped shark a few yards off in the shallow surf. I didn't know what their behavioral responses were, so when I shuffled my feet in 18 inches of water the darn thing immediately turned inshore and swam straight at me. The second half of their response is to then do a roll-turn and swim back out into deeper water. Nonethelss, I high-tailed it into inches deep water.
This place is a mecca for folks who love shallow water expeditions in small boats or just a board and fins. There are sharks though...and gators.
