We took the boat down the Intracoastal Waterway through Little River, exploring the channels along the way to Little River Inlet, and the ocean, ending with a shell at Bird Island. I haven't felt more like my true self in months than I did on that boat today. And, that my friends, feels very good.
Bird Island is on the southern end of Sunset Beach, NC, and is a North Carolina Coastal Reserve and National Estuarine Research Reserve. Basically, that means it's a undeveloped barrier island. And, that puts it on my list for favorite places to visit and shell.
Bird Island was littered with broken sand dollars. I managed to find some gems, and despite seeing so many broken ones, I enjoyed myself thoroughly.
