Tide Pool at Owl's Head Light State Park

We wandered down to the beach where there were some picnic tables after taking the short hike up to the lighthouse itself. The beach was quiet, with a couple of kids playing in the water, a few sailboats out in the water and cormorants and black faced gulls (have to check these in the sibley's to be sure what they were) doing their stuff in the wonderful warm air. The tide pools were shallow and full of snails. The beach itself was also littered with the shells of the snails who passed on before them! Lots of seaweeds around, if there were crab or other creatures, they were well hidden, and we didn't turn over any rocks on today's visit. There's a lot of life in the sea!
