Wow!!!! What a nesting season that Wrightsville Beach is having! 5 nests and we are only half way through June!!! We are loving it!
Keep coming to our beach Mother Turtles. We will Keep It Clean for you!
Two Mondays =Two beautiful mornings on the beach!
We finally did see Rick again. We run into Rick every year as he picks up trash in our zone just about every morning, even in the winter. We really appreciate Rick and we love running into old beach friends and catching up over the sunrise. I think he was happy to see us too. People who actively love the beach protect it and connect with others who do the same.

2 grocery bags
3 other plastic bags

34 pieces of packaging (tags, etc.)

3 hair ties
1 hair clip
1 band aid
