A Wade At The Beach

Goose Spit Spark, Comox, British Columbia
Nothing relaxes us more than a nice walk on the beach.  We actually managed to take a day off from our Company last Saturday and did just that.  One of our favorite places to walk at low tide is Goose Spit Park.  You can walk for at least a mile on the sand bars when the tide is at it's lowest which we managed to take our walk at. We were rewarded by a couple of rarely seen creatures for this beach, live sand dollars and a hermit crab.  You often find the white sand dollars on the beach, which are OK to take home as they are no longer alive. There are lots of small sand crabs at this beach, found simply by turning over rocks.  This is the first time I have spotted a hermit crab here.

Today, since we completed a major project his week for our company, we might just get another walk on the beach!  Cheers everyone and have a great weekend!

  2. To me, there's nothing more stress-reducing and rejuvenating than a walk on the beach.
