We were at a beach on the East coast yesterday and it has the same very fine bright white sand. It is a small beach and there is almost no way to park, I did find a spot after much recon. It was called New Samyra or something like that. It is very nice to walk on and the sand sqeeks when you walk on it.ZippyPinHeadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744888611143753611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-5761281007330380842012-05-07T13:04:48.484-04:002012-05-07T13:04:48.484-04:00Looks like a lovely beach.

The beaches were lovely, but as everyplace was NOT dog friendly, we searched elsewhere...although, ultimately it was best that we didn't buy anything :-)...would only be something else we would have had to get rid of!

It reminded me of Jones Beach on Long Island where I spent many days as a boy. We actually had some nice waves for a Gulf beach and I finally realized there are times when folks might actually prefer that to the rougher waves at an coean beach. Never occured to me before, but now I understand better why the Gulf beaches are so popular.Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-817036248294148322012-05-06T20:41:36.923-04:002012-05-06T20:41:36.923-04:00Glad you got another umbrella, it looks pretty col...Glad you got another umbrella, it looks pretty colorful. We loved Siesta Key when Eldy's son and family came down...it really is a beautiful beach. The huge parking lot was FULL every time we went. Luckily, we could park at his son's cottage rental and then walk a block to the beach. #1 beach in the USA in 2010, we think.
