The place was teeming with people and every imaginable parking space was taken. Our passing peek revealed a tightly populated, standing-room-only beach. We continued on as we had the last time we attempted this beach. A mile up the road we had found a parking spot right near the beach by a Marriott Hotel and today we happily found the exact same parking spot awaiting our arrival.
The parking is metered and we had few coins so I approached the hotel counter and asked if they'd be so kind as to give me coins for paper money. They were cheerfully obliging which I much appreciated. In gratitude I include an ad for them here.

The above photos were taken just prior to setting up our beach umbrella. That was followed by sitting in the shade and reading an interesting book. Yes, we also took a cooling dip in the ocean where I got to see a couple of Pompanos mosey by. Carol had prepared a fine lunch accompanied by cold Starbucks Frappuccinos. The day was good.
On the drive home we followed a van with a sign on the back advertising the business of providing massages for dogs. If your pet dog seems a little tense or high-strung lately look up the Paws and Relax Company. It's a curious business. In my experience a dog needs zero help relaxing. They could give lessons. On the other hand maybe the company specializes in poodles and chihuahuas.
Yes, a beautiful beach day it was and the water was so refreshingly cool. Edwin, you are one funny man. Dog story all true.
