Sunrise at the Beach

DeBordieu's Uncrowded Beach

I took a walk this morning at sunrise on DeBordieu beach. DeBordieu proper has over a mile and a half of beach shoreline. The southern walk is the most special to me. From the southern most home the beach stretches nearly another 2 whole miles before reaching North Inlet. This two mile stretch has no beach homes. It is a prestine beach. The land is owned by The Belle W. baruch Foundation-Hobcaw Barony. 

Maybe 1/2 mile down the beach is this very old remaining structure of a groin (wall built perpendicular to the shoreline intended to trap sand flowing in the alongshore current).

Old Groins

On my way back, I came across this osprey. He seemed to be waiting for the sun to get higher so that he could go hunt for breakfast.
