The Fam Bam frequents this beach often and it is truly an amazing place to be. One of our cherished activities is searching for small crabs near the rocks and then releasing them back into their habitat. It's always a heartwarming experience. During our latest visit, my daughter discovered a stunning emerald green crab with silver and black stripes, which left us in awe. We were in the midst of constructing a sandcastle when LittleBigfoot stumbled and fell, causing us to erupt in laughter. Despite the minor setback, we're already planning our next visit. Today was a fantastic day with the temperature reaching a delightful 82 degrees.
