Every morning we walk on the beach shell hunting, and always see the seagulls, washed up sea-slugs, and jelly fish.This morning we were walking along the beach in the very shallow water, looking for shells, and my daughter and husband pointed out a stingray swimming in the shallow water. The picture is not really clear due to the sand, and a lot of seaweed, but you can make out the shadow.

| First time we have seen a stingray in the water. |
Strange, but this is the first time I have seen a crab running along the beach. Maybe I just couldn`t see them because they really blend in with the sand.
 |
| It looks like sand with eyes. |
There is a pier a short walk down the beach from our condo and you have to pay $2 per person to walk down to the end. Your $2 lasts for the whole day and you can stamp your hand if you want to come back. Best $2 we spent the whole vacation. First, we had a crane fly over and land on the pier. This bird was just walking along the pier among the people and our grandson thought it was the greatest thing ever.

| This is a great picture of our friend the crane. |
We got half way down the pier and saw three dolphins swimming and jumping out of the water. The day before we were at the beach and we could see two dolphins jumping out in the water by the pier. Not sure if they were the same dolphins, but if they were, we are glad they made another appearance. They were so close and just beautiful. This was of course the day we didn`t bring the camera, so out came everyone`s phones. My husband videoed and my daughter took the pictures. Our grandson was mesmerized. He loved watching the dolphins swimming and jumping.

| This is why they call it the Emerald Coast. White sand and emerald water. |
All and all it was a very Animal Planet vacation.
 |
| Just had to throw in an evening picture of the Gulf and the pier. |
