Two beaches

A few steps from our beach house was the Atlantic ocean where the water was surprisingly warm and clean. But Mia didn't like the the waves too much.

 There was another beach just a mile or two away which was facing the bay. The water was much calmer and very shallow. Even a few hundred yards from the beach just three feet deep or so. Even the kids could wade out. Mia liked that beach much more

So we endes up going there quite often - especially in the later evening when we had the evening sun
