Beach Day!

Sebastian Inlet State Park, Melbourne, FL



Sunday Funday!  We’re not rolling today just hanging another day on this beach. We’ve done beaches in California, the Gulf, up and down the Atlantic Ocean and even The Keys.  I think this is one of the best. Turquoise warm water, great sand, fun surf , and you can’t beat the location - right at our campground!   (I didn’t do any doctoring at all on this shot. In fact, most of my pics are just as is.  I like capturing the realness of the moment). 











We heard there was some snorkeling to do here as well.  Word around the campground was to catch it at high tide at the rocks, under the bridge, in the cove.  We gave it a go.  Meh - kinda a bust.  The water in the cove is super murky and the fish were just fish, nothing showy.  Time to move on to the beach. 



















And what a great day it was!  We spent most of the day trying to catch that perfect wave.  We traded off with the boogie board, but honestly best ride of the day was when Ned had the boogie board and I was on my floatie. We both caught this enormous wave together and rode it alllllllll the way into the beach.  I swear I have more fun with my floatie, patched up and all.  
















Picnic on the beach. We spent over 5 hours on the beach.  Thank goodness for Aloe Vera for me and the umbrella for Ned! Just LOVE the colors in this photo, it really shows all the beautiful blue hues here.  
































Back at the campsite watching the party boats on the Indian River.  I think there’s a big sand bar where all the boats gather.  Music is blasting, people are standing around in the water drinking beers. It’s quite entertaining.  Time to pop a cold one and watch the action. 






















We took an evening bike ride and as luck would have it we saw dolphin feeding! So fun to watch them come up and then dive back down.  We were also entertained by the snowy egret.  Such personalities.
