Crabby visitor at the beach

June 13, 2018 by Tony Leave a Comment

No sooner and we picked out our spot on the beach north of Cocoa Beach, Florida than we saw movement in the sand. This little Ghost Crab soon made a full appearance and gave us some entertainment during our visit.

He would go into his little burrow, drag out a load of sand, toss it, then return to do the same thing. The little thing was pretty skittish as just about any movement on our part would send him back into the hole so the key was to sit as still as possible and wait for him.
