East End of the island-- at the beach

a walk on the beach and with less peeps around so decided to head to the East End of the island .. quiet it was.. saw 5 people and 3 dogs the entire time I was out there-- most others stayed west of me.. Tubbs Inlet was a bit ruff ... Tubbs Inlet separates Sunset Beach island where I was and Ocean Isle Beach island across the Inlet.. 67* early morning before 6am...a nice day overall with the sun shining and up to 76*..

getting ready for sunrise-- looking across Tubbs Inlet to Ocean Isle Beach island
