These are from Jekyll Island, Georgia. It was a privately-held island until 1948, I think, and then it was sold by southern bigwigs to the state as a tax writeoff. Because it's not very touristy, it hasn't been ruined yet.
Sunrise over the Atlantic:
Some colorful dunes flowers...I believe some might be datura relatives...
Mermaid Purse (skate egg) and whelk- the beach was full of whelks.
Fresh loggerhead sea turtle tracks...the island is a protected loggerhead nesting area.
A nest found by the "turtle patrol", people from the Georgia Sea Turtle Center who prowl the beach all night with red floodlights to mark the nests.
