April 4-8 Melbourne Beach, FL

We camped at Sebastian Inlet State Park in Melbourne.



adjacent to the Gold Coast where eleven Spanish ships sunk in the 1700’s.



Our camping experience here was all about the beach, the birds and other beasts.
The beach:





The birds:


Note the fish in the egret's beak.


These pelicans were waiting for a handout at a fish cleaning station.


This woodstork got its handout.

The beasts:


Fish caught at the pier.


A manatee floating off shore


A fiddler crab on the beach


The rare white footed Ray Beast (showing off his tan)

Seriously we had a wonderful time soaking up the sun and watching an abundance of wildlife. There was only one bad weather day, but on that day we were thoroughly entertained watching the storm come in.



And after it was gone, watching a beautiful sunset in stages.





Sebastian Inlet State Park was lovely.
