Stingray Island

We took the boat last weekend to a HUGE sand dune that Rick had spotted from the air. It's on Gulf Breeze and is on the bay side
No it's not the Lord of the Flies, it's Queen of Sting Ray Island. We could only get to this island from boat and now that we discovered it, I think it may be our new hangout. That's our boat in the background of the photo


As we got closer to the island, the kids could already see what would make this island their favorite location....... THE ROPE SWING

This is a huge sand hill that goes all the way down to the water below and the swing goes way out and over the hillside





Rick took the kids up the hill to the swing, and I had Adeline walking along the waters edge looking at hermit crabs, sand pipers and driftwood. The water was really quite cold, but of course there were a lot of people in tubes floating, on jet skis and just swimming. As you can tell from Reece's shirt, it was pretty chilly that day. On the ride home the wind was in our faces and we were all freezing!











As we approached the island we saw 1 sting ray, then another and another. The jet ski enthusiasts were chasing them, but we pulled up alongside one and decided to film him. The water was really shallow as we approached the shore, and they were everywhere. Really cool

Wow what a neat looking island for you to discover and have fun at all summer. The rope swing looks great and the perspective of the hill height is misleading when you see the size of your boat in the background. Did you name it Sting Ray Island? Sounds appropriate if you did.
