During this last week of the year, we had the ideal conditions to walk south from Bathtub Reef Beach down to the north end jetties of the St. Lucie Inlet. This was a first for us, since we weren't sure this was even doable. Right after the public beach parking lot, the road turns into a private gated community, and we thought perhaps the beach was private too. Luckily that wasn't the case, and with the tide low (which is a must now with so little beach left after Hurricanes Ian and Nicole), we walked the 1.12 miles each way, down to the end. The soft sand was challenging, but our feet sinking down made for a great workout. We made it though, and there was much more sand at that end and on the inlet side too.
Now we can add another new experience to our growing list of things to do and places to see. At least the weather was a bit warmer that day after some very chilly Christmastime temperatures. Now we are almost hotter than usual with close to mid-80s for this, the last day of 2022. We'll take it! We'll see you in 2023 and hope you have a good one!
