The trip to Glass Window and back took about 5 hours, and by then I'd managed to come down with a migraine. So, we took a nap and then headed across the street for a sunset walk on Tarpum Bay Beach.
This particular beach is rocky and covered in evidence of ocean life. You can't take two steps without finding yet another conch shell or chunk of coral. It's not a place you can go barefoot, but it's so darn cool you don't really mind.
In the half hour or so we managed to get in before the sun went down, we noticed the tide had come in a decent bit and brought considerably warmer water with it. We were tempted to wade in at that point because it was the most comfortable water we'd seen so far, but heeded the warning about sharks feeding near shore at sunset and headed back home.
Coral washed up by the tide.
A sardine shell. (All kidding aside, there was an enormous amount of garbage everywhere we went. The other thing we saw everywhere were signs warning of fines and jail time for littering. I found it very disheartening.)
Sand and shell outcropping.
Hurricane blowdown.
Losing the light.
