About 150 yards from our condo is this beachImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1464063343.550143.jpg

The water is pretty rough this afternoon yet all kinds of green turtles are taking advantage of grazing on the meager seaweed now barely accessible at high tide. Fascinating watching them thrown around against the rocks yet seeming to be oblivious as they grab what bits of seaweed they can. Had no idea they were comfortable in rough, rocky, shallow water!!

Yes. And at the sandier part of the beach, there are rocks breaking up the sandy part. Wading out in 2 feet of water I was right next to some working the rocks. I had to be careful they didn't hit me with the surge on several occasions. Really cool!!
