A Day on the Island

We woke before dawn, got dressed and walked to the beach in the dark. By the time we made it to the fishing pier, we were rewarded.



We finished the day with over seven miles of beach walking.  At the other end of the beach was Bob Hall Pier.  In 2019, we ate and drank at Mikel May's, a restaurant/bar located at the beginning of the pier.  The pier was severely damaged during the 2020 hurricane and then demolished. Only the closed restaurant structure remains.


Between walks, we grocery shopped at a HEB Plus for the week.  We also stopped at Paul's Seafood and bought some fresh fillets of black drum, a local fish.

I really missed the taste of fresh saltwater fish.  The fillets were delicious, lightly pan-fried with a little olive oil.  With fresh asparagus and fresh bread, our meal tonight was better than any restaurant meal in recent memory and at a fraction of the cost.

Beautiful!

Are you in an Airbnb?

Nothing like fresh fish, is there? Delicious!

Yes, an Airbnb in the same area as the last time we stayed here. Cheaper than the other one and a five minute walk to the beach.
