There isn't a cloud in the sky and the sun is out.
We decided it would be a good day to take a walk on the beach, before any winter weather sets in again, so we set off for the North-end of Pawleys Island's Beach
The ocean was a bit turbulent, and the wind sharp, but it wasn't crowded.
We were quite shocked by how much beach erosion had occurred since we last visited this end of Pawleys Island. That big circle of water in the foreground of the photo above used to be all sandy beach.
And the channel between Pawleys Island and Litchfield Island has widened so that its edges almost reach the homes on the ends of each island. This photo was taken at low tide. In the past, we used to be able to walk across this channel at low tide; I doubt that that is possible anymore.
Some of that sand washed directly offshore, where it is causing rougher wave action than we've ever seen.
Can you feel that riptide pulling you into the Atlantic?
Even the surfers were staying out of the water today.
All the more room for us to roam the beach without having to wear a COVID mask, or make wide detours to aid contact with strangers.
