Beach Tour '10 cont.

As RI Beach Tour '10 continues we hit East Beach yesterday. I had never been there before (nor had my mom who's lived in the area all her life) and it was an unusual beach. The parking lot was very small so it filled fast and it had two swimming areas. One was the obvious beach side and the other was a small salt pond for kids. Cayden LOVED the little kids area and spent most of the time waist deep with Vavo playing with (tortuing) ctenophores.

The main beach side was really nice, although the entry was very steep and the waves broke right onshore. Amazingly enough there were people attempting to boogie-board. They would pick up the wave 5 feet from the shore, throw themselves into the brown, churning maelstrom of rough sand and get thrown straight down onto the sand while getting a seashell enema. So I tried it once. It was not fun.
