I started with Indian Beach at 4:00 pm, I was curious to see if anything interesting washed up on the beach and if it was clean from human waste like plastic and other garbage that is a big problem for the animals. I did not see any plastic waste floating in the water or on the sand. But what was on the shore the most was dead horseshoe crabs and one dead bird. I did not want to get to close to the bird, but from what I saw the bird was not attacked by an animal (no bite marks or body parts missing). It look like it was drowned to death, it's body was very wet. Or it could be from the waved hitting it's lifeless body on the sand and seaweed.
I spent my time at this beach for about 20-25 min, walking along the sand and rocks seeing if anything new caught my eye. I did find something that made me happy to see, after seeing many dead animals on the beach it was starting to be very depressing beach. On a pile of seaweed dry on the shore, there was some tree seeds and some were starting to grow.
At 4:50 I went to the beach that is in the Saint Armand Circle. I was only there for about 15 minutes, there was not much to see. It was nice to see the beach quiet and empty, and able to enjoy the beautiful view of the ocean without the tourist. I will say that it was a long walk to the water, because it was very low tides. Only a few people were on the beach. Families collecting shells, couples walking along the water and some kids playing sports in the water. The beach was very clean and unlike Indian Beach, the water was clearer to see below.
