Back in March when we traveled to Mystic, Connecticut we found this lovely little beach in nearby Waterford. From the charming drive in through the maze of trees to the walk down through the marsh and on to the beach I was enchanted!
The beach is flanked on both ends by enormous, weathered rocks that we just had to climb on! From the rocks the views just opened up and they are wonderful. You can look right across the water to Fishers Island and to the mouth of the Thames river. What a pretty, little, beach!
As you can see from my plate of shells above, we found lots of nice southerly specimens. This year so far I have found tons of False Angel Wings, and the trend continues! You can see from my collection in the photo we found: False Angel Wings, Northern Moon Snails, a piece of Channeled Whelk, Black clams, Slipper Shells, Bay Scallops, Blue Mussels, Jingle Shells, Little Jackknife clams, and Transverse Ark shells.
You'll see we also found something else when we took the video! My brother says it's a sea worm - the kind you buy for bait.
Toward the river around the rocks we also saw Brant Geese and Red-Breasted Mergansers. This beach is one special place - I look forward to exploring it again!
