Barefoot beach is in a pristine area. Since it is a State Beach, there are no commercial buildings or homes in sight.
Behind the beach are mangroves and other native plants and flowers.
Gopher turtles can be found in the parking lots, near the concession stand, near the outdoor museum, and this guy was a little confused. He was out on the white sand beach, but heading towards the ocean. A staff member picked him up and returned him to the plant side of the beach. Gopher turtles, as this one should know, cannot swim, and if it had made it to the water, most likely would have drowned.
This is that same Gopher turtle after it was returned to its nesting area. It is hiding a big dug out area that is home.
Driftwood along the beach. Pictures do not do this white, white sand beach justice.
Earlier in the day, it was a little cool at the beach, but the day was beautiful.
There were large areas of shells that were in really good shape as there are not many people along this two-mile strand of beach.
This bird caught a shell with food inside it. It was doing all sorts of things to crack the shell open.
