We're willing to attack if others threaten to hurt it. Yet despite all our attachment, we know that the tide will inevitably come in and sweep the sand castle away. The trick is to enjoy it fully but without clinging, and when the time comes, let it dissolve back into the sea." ~Pema Chodron ~ Mark from Sand Odyssey taught my beautiful granddaughter, Autumn, and her friends how to build sandcastles, and he was amazing. Jean-Paul Sartre said, "The more sand that has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it." Don't waste your sand. Experience life. Give experiences! -

You'll find Gulfview Heights just down the street from Goatfeathers Restaurant. There is plenty of parking available and we noticed a good portion of the spots were taken by golf carts. We whipped our car in and loaded up our cart. We passed the bathrooms with a water fountain and a couple of showers to remove the sand. Once we walked up we realized....this access is all stairs! Womp womp. We had to carry the cart vs pull it down a ramp so that made it more difficult for us. The beach itself is great with a lifeguard and a couple of chair rental options.
