revisting some favorite spots

Since there has been a new wave of friends on the island I have been introducing them to some of my favorite places nearby.
Yesterday we explored the conch shell graveyard (read more about here in a previous post) and then wasted a few hours on Grand Anse beach searching for sanddollars and enjoying the beautiful day.

Today we went to one of my very favorite places, Magazine Beach to snorkel. I've written many a blog posts about Magazine Beach read about them here)  It has the BEST snorkeling!
Today was another beautiful day, including the rain that came up and soaked us!

sea finds

I'm really, really good at finding stuff in the ocean.

2 pairs of designer sunglasses speak for themselves :)
honest. i found ray bans and miu miu sunglasses BOTH in the ocean on separate occasions.

I've also found a star fish, loads of cool shells, sand dollars, sea urchin skeletons.... plastic bags, beer bottles you know.

My very favorite things are sea fans
now. you can't take sea fans from the ocean.... apparently they take years and years to grow.... but it's not my fault it one washes up on shore.
the best time to look for a sea fan is after a storm and rough waves,  they break off and come to shore looking for a new home on my shelf.

yesterday Amber is actually the one who spotted the sea fan & I'm so glad she did!  I love it!
and I have a HUGE new conch shell that is now my door stop.

happy snorkeling!

beautiful

On Sunday I went with my friend Sonia and her husband Michael to Magazine Beach to go snorkeling because they had not been there before. When we arrived we were greeted with HUGE waves, which quickly dashed my snorkeling hopes, but it was still so beautiful and the sound of waves crashing is so relaxing.

These are a few of my favorite pictures from the day....
