Lethargic Saturday

I decided to just do some light blogging today, and post some pictures of my trip to Keaton Beach, FL I took back in the spring of this year. It's a quiet little beachfront hamlet on the Gulf of Mexico. It doesn't get very crowded, even during tourist season there never seems to be much of a crowd.

This is Keaton Beach looking to the south-south west. Notice the plethora of sunbathing bikini clad women lined up shoulder to shoulder along the beach.



Here you see the pier where the fishing is best for the landlubbers without boats. There's lots of Grunts, Gar, and Ladyfish in these waters, but if you're persistent you can stock up Mullet, Grouper, and Mackerel. These waters are also filled with tons of Blue Crabs.




Now that we're at the end of the pier, standing under the covered gazebo, we sit back and breath a sigh of relief that we made it all the way to the end without being tossed over the side by those hordes of angry fisherman lining the railings.



Here's the beachfront looking north-west. It's hard to image how all those people playing in the surf can bear these overcrowded conditions. Be careful, there's sharks in the water!



This is really a high-falutin' place, it even has truck parking.



Time to go, I hope we can make it out before dark, it's going to be close what with the bumper to bumper traffic jam-packing the only access road in and out of town. All those skyscraper beachfront resorts really draw in the crowds.
