Hike through the sand dunes and long leaf pines

The state park has a nice hike through the dunes to see the bay, wild oats, long leaf pine and the marshes. It was a great hike! We set out early in the morning before the heat hit.

We saw herons, oyster catchers, some song birds as well as a blue bellied lizard (which we think is a Fence Lizard) and a nice green and black snake. Also noticed some wild rosemary and wild oat. Some of the long leaf pine trees have bent trunks and HUGE cones.

We weren't able to take a photo of the lizard but here are the tracks of one crossing the trail.
