Higbee Beach Wildlife Management Area

Today we finally got a chance to visit the infamous Higbee Beach. I say infamous, because up until a few years ago it was known as the "nude beach." Not any longer though. Today its better known as a great place to do some birding. And so, even though we would be arriving much too late to see some good birds, we brought our binoculars along; just in case. It was a short walk to the beach on a sandy trail.

Noelle and I left Sierra with Pop Pop and Ta Ta to run around,

while we headed into the scrubby forest to walk and look for birds.

Unfortunately, we didn't see much in the forest. Still, it was nice to get out and walk.

Eventually we made a our way out to the beach

and walked the beach past some interesting looking maritime forest,

back to the rest of the family. We spent some time together enjoying the sand and wondering what the mysterious half-submerged object was just offshore.

Soon enough the Cape May - Lewes Ferry came in

and I walked over to the jetty to watch it come into port.

Then we headed out after a glorious morning.
