This Is Not Margaritaville
Since we didn't get to finish up our beach trip the other day. I though now would be a good time to look at some more of what we saw while there.
The egret didn't seem to concerned that he was being photoed. The birds around here are always looking for a meal. The people fishing there gives them something to eat. If they catch something they don't like or want. The birds get it. And leftover bait can go the birds as well.
We might as well take another look at him. He was all for standing there so we could get a good shot of him. This one also shows a little more of the beach background and some greenery.
I see another egret and a pigeon near and on the fish cleaning station. There is a water line and hose for cleaning your fish at the cleaning station on the pier. That makes it handy for anyone catching fish to be able to clean them right there.
There is more than one fish cleaning station.
Fish can have a bad odor when cleaning time comes. Even cooking them can permeate the house or wherever they are being cooked. But, some of them are very good eating.
I wonder why the egret and the pigeon are hanging around the fish cleaning station? Ha
While we are looking at birds. Look at this little bird. Are these called sand pipers or something like that?
In this photo. It looks like the bird couldn't wait. Ha
The pier floor is laid with composite material. Not wood. It costs more, but it lasts a lot longer.
Plus, I think it is stronger for the winds and the storms that hit the pier.
Looking back to the beach and the restaurants.
Last photo from the pier for you to see.
There are always signs wherever we go, it seems. The beach and pier area is no different.
Check in with who? lol We grabbed a table just as a group was leaving. It wasn't that busy anyway.
I decided to leave Pat out of this photo. She doesn't like to be in photos very often.
When we get older. We do get a little camera shy. Ha
But Katie doesn't care. She is young and pretty.
It is safer to point the camera up when taking photos in a crowd. I don't want to be screamed at for being some kind of freak. Ha ha
There are some things to see at the ceiling too. Ceiling watching isn't a popular sport I don't think at the beach though. lol
Looking from our table to the beach. It wasn't very cool that day. The sun was shining.
As we were leaving. We entered into the nearby park that has recently been built. It is a super nice area for picnics and lots of walking around the nearby lake or pond that is there.
That finishes our work and post for the beach that I had for you to see.
We will be visiting the beaches later on as we move on from Sharky's on the Pier and the Fins Restaurant.
There are many beaches to see in our local area. But for now. I have to post this for you.
Let's not forget some wiki bar music.

I love birds and both the birds are looking so great and they are also enjoying in beach just like you.
Thank you.
Thank you. The birds know that around the beach. They will get some food. Especially if fisherman are around. Most people like the birds. As long as they don't steal the bait. lol
Francis
No one have noticed, but a pigeon is also there and I wonder how a pigeon is there in beach area.
Personally I have never seen any pigeon near to beach. So really surprised.
Thank you @francisk....steem on and stay blissful....

A wonderful walk and great photos of this beach again show us the diversity of life that occurs during your walk. These birds turned out great and it seems that they are not disturbed by the presence of people. Also liked this coastal cafe where you are all together, I'm sure had a pleasant time! Thank you Francis and I'm waiting for your new stories!
You are welcome. Thank you for your support.

Whenever we go to the beach on the Carolina Coast and walk on the pier, we always see sharks swimming up and down, along the side of it. It's a great motivator to stay out of the ocean, at least in the deep part.
I have never spent a lot of time on the pier. We could ride a bicycle there in about 15-20 minutes.
That is where a lot of tourists go to each year. 100's of thousands over the year. The traffic can get heavy at times. Especially at spring break.

Warm sandy beaches sounds really good considering we are expecting snow and ice.
@francisk, Absolutely I'm glad to tell you that I could #walkwithme blog today coz of you. Thanks for encouraging me sir. If you feel free you can visit. I'll try to do more travel and meditation blogs further.
Ok now I come to your post. Now you walking in beach area. Lot of ladies indeed with bikini kits. :D But no worries. We can enjoy there. Bridge beat place to see sea waves and take outstanding captures. Katie is really beautiful. I wish to her success. Stay blessed.
Thank you for your kind words. I wish you well too.
