Today's beachwalk began by encountering a sea snake at my beach access. These critters normally stay well offshore but at this time every year they wash up on the beach to spawn as I understand it. They are usually pretty spent or dead when we see them and are not in any way aggressive. However they are to be avoided as they are highly venomous and there is no anti-venin available. Fortunately, they have very small mouths which makes for a poor delivery system for anything as large as a human. Children and pets should be kept away for their safe guarding. I counted six on my beachwalk this morning though I have seen many more than this in years past.
I walk to the northe
rnmost end of our beach at Las Brisas. This is what it looks like at the shoreline where I turn around and ...what else...walk back south. You can see the volcanic character of the promontory that separates Potrero Beach from the next beach to the north...Penca.
