The surprising thing about all the public beaches in Biluxi, Mississippi is none had any rest rooms. I had to use a Marriot Hotel to use the facilities. We looked at the water line (of the high tide) and realized there really was not much beach left at high tide. I walked along the beach and found a large head of a fish (I had no idea what kind of fish it was) and also a big jelly fish at least eight inches long and five inches wide. Otherwise my walk was uneventful. I did see a dozen plover play tag with the tide. They would run around the waves and stick their heads in the sand. I had no idea what they were eating. I did get wet completely but the Gulf was not that deep. It was a pleasant afternoon.

The beach In Bay Head, NJ was much nicer than I thought it would be. It stretched for miles and there were not many people on it. I had this idea there would be some kind of barrier at the border of each town on the beach but that was not the case.
We even saw dolphins in the ocean. I was thrilled. They were huge and I never expected to see them. They “made” this trip really memorable. I have not thought about my dogs who I boarded until now and now I miss them. Absence makes the heart fonder.
The Atlantic Ocean is really far from us so I will appreciate it now. The Inn we are staying at is really nice although the beds were really hard. I am off to the Ocean again.
