Besides my first aid kit and plenty of water I like to leave a bit of room in my backpack for my sense of adventure. Today’s beach excursion was timed carefully to see how long we would have to get past the large seaweed covered rocks on the east side of FoxPoint Beach, explore the beach leading toward Diligent River beach and get back before the tide cuts us off.
Our departure was a bit delayed and we arrived at the beach eight minutes before low tide. We are currently in a phase where we don’t have extreme low tides and that became apparent as we navigated our way between the rocks trying to find a relatively safe route past the looming seaweed boulders.
What awaited us beyond our usual turn around point was breath-taking! The rocky beach was a bit challenging to walk on but our hiking boots stood up well. We kept an eye on the clock and managed to return to the estimated pinch point just in time. Our window was exactly 90 minutes.
On the way back to the car we managed to pick up 17 lbs of beach trash. it always feels good when you know that you left the beach a little cleaner than when you arrived.
Wishing you all a weekend filled with sunshine! Cheers, Anna
