Jitterbug I know what you mean. I had a blast watching everyone splash, scream and just socialize.
I took the above picture to give an idea of the depth of the water. Those people behind the little boy with the ball, which are shown close up in the below shot, are far out there, but as they walked, the water level never reached their shoulder blades.
The tide is mild making it favorable for just hanging in the water and for supervised kids playing along the shore.
Once out there, the ocean floor is sandy, but there are patches of rocky mounds in some areas near the shore that you have to cross. They look flat as if you can easily walk upon them, but they are jagged in places and really hurt the feet so unless you find then enter through the sandy paths, water shoes are highly recommended.
The beached boat…one of Winnifred’s icons.
When you saw a picture of that boat in various articles or reports, you automatically knew it was resting upon the Winnifred sands. Always there. Always in the perfect position to be admired and photographed. I’m afraid the poplar fixture is seeing its final days.
The hurricane pushed it into the dune breaking further its weakened structure. Plants and the insects that live in them are making the remains their home.
Don’t think it will be dismantled and the pieces used for fire wood?? Or maybe it will just be overcome by nature??? Or maybe some industrious Winnifred advocate will patch it, paint it pretty bright colors and write Winnifred Beach on the side???
I would hate to not see it there any more.
I was just told my meal is ready.
and I'm hungry!
lol
I always love a local beach - even in Negril I tend to hang out at the local beach by the roundabout (as long as the river don't come down). The people watching is way more interesting to me there.
Just lovely......
Tee and I used Cynthia's rest room on our first visit to Winnifred, I think you may have been off taking photos/exploring. During that visit Otis told us not to use the public restroom, glad to know it's cleaner now.
