Crescent Beach Day

I took a public transit bus out to Crescent Beach today. Yet another great way to spend a day in greater Vancouver. There is something very interesting about this spot. The beach sand goes out into the water very slowly, taking forever to get deep. I watched people kayaking along in the shallows, having a great time. There were all these small mounds of dirt in the low tide. As I walked past them I noticed that strands of dirt were being pushed up very systematically from these mounds. Another guy walking along in the shallows explained to me that there are large clams under those spots and they are pushing air up from where they are under the sand. I started my day in the tide with nothing on my feet. I noticed most of the people I walked past had sandals on their feet while they were in the water. At that point I saw all the jellyfish. There were tons of these little yellow jellyfish, one every few metres. I didn't step on any as I walked forever today in the low tide sands out at Crescent Beach.
