As our ship, the National Geographic Venture, headed around the tip of Baja California, we stopped at a number of very beautiful beaches, where we were often the only humans. The long expanses of sand, the dunes, the birds, and other creatures are just wonderful!
Sand Dollar Beach
 |
| Everyone agreed that this beach had more sand dollars than we’ve seen on any beach elsewhere. |
 |
We walked across the dunes for around 20 minutes to
go from our landing spot to Sand Dollar Beach on the Pacific Ocean side. |
Beach Picnic
 |
| S’mores of course! |
Coyotes on the Beach

| Our guide Carlos pointed out these coyotes that live on the dunes near a beach. |

| After a very interesting wildlife walk, Carlos sketched a whale on the beach. |

What a fabulous beach. I actually never seen a sand dollar! the coyotes would make me uncomfortable but I always love seeing the local birds !
These beaches are gorgeous Mae. And you saw frigate birds too. It looks like a lovely place to visit. hugs-Erika
Beautiful pictures. Your beach picnic looks like an amazing time.
That is a lovely beach! Thanks for sharing it. It makes me happy.
The color of that sand is amazing ... and so pure! And all the wildlife, too -- such a remarkable range of creatures! (After coyotes ate all of our ducks, I've lost whatever affection I ever had for the mangy beasts. That, plus their song in the middle of the night is mighty unsettling.)
Great photos, too! I love the objects you captured against the sand; maybe especially sand dollar (which looks just about like the color of the sand).
Hello,
I love all your beach images. The Sand Dollars are beautiful. Love the seashell, the birds are awesome. I love the Frigatebirds and Green Heron. Neat drawing of the whale in the sand. I hope the Coyotes keep their distance from the people. I sure the food smells good to the Coyotes. Wonderful photos.
These are beautiful photos, Mae. I love the ocean (but not the sand).
I have also never seen so many sand dollars. How great to see all those shells on the beach. Looks like a great picnic, too. What a fun time it looks like you had and you got to make S'mores, too!
Really neat, I love the beach coyotes!
Seems it was really very special! And yummy. And beautiful - thank you for sharing :-)
A fun picnic was had by all:) Interesting how Aussie pelicans are so different to U.S. ones - ours are black and white rather than brown.
That looks like a perfect sand dollar, wow! I have not seen coyotes on a beach before. Can they catch fish? hmm.
