Amelia Sea Turtles, Sand Dollars, Starfish

Posted in: Amelia Island Community

I started the day with a walk on the beach. I could see the tire tracks from an ATV, no doubt the Amelia Island Turtle Watch scouring the beach at early dawn for turtle tracks. As I walked along the beach, I looked down and found a perfect sand dollar.  There’s something about finding an intact sand dollar. You see plenty of broken pieces along the shoreline, but when you find a complete sand dollar, a quick bolt of glee hits you, no matter how old you are. There’s something about the beach that brings out the kid in all of us. So visit the beach soon. You never know what beach bounty awaits discovery. It’s one of life’s simple pleasures, here in this beach town.
