Consistently beautiful.
It is an amazing place and rarely do we see other people. Part of the reason is the mosquitoes and no-see-ums can be overwhelming on the beach at times. The onshore wind is your friend. I never paddle there without a head net, repellent, long pants and sleeves. There is 11 miles of salt marsh and bays between there and the ramp on the mainland. We do see the occasional fishing boat and shrimp boats
Our Eastern Shore if the Chesapeak Bay can be buggy, but the Eastern side is virtually bug free, even the brackish water marshes. August brings nasty bitting flies if the wind blows from the north,

Hey, isnât that the Pumphouse Restaurant in Fairbanks? It sure looks like it. Years ago I drank one of my most welcome beers ever on that deck and watched a float plane come in very low to land on the river.

The Texas Traffic Jam suggests to not drink the water downstream - probably a general rule anyway.

Here in PA, the state doesnât like livestock wandering into waterways so they have had programs for rural property owners that provide grants and even direct mitigation to prevent it. My ex boyfriend owned 40+ acres directly along about 1000â of the West Branch Susquehanna and had a grazing field where he would let his horses run and upon which he was going to let a friend pasture some sheep. In order to assure that the stock wouldnât wander into the river, the state paid to not only completely enclose the 6 acre pasture with solar-powered electric fence, but they also installed a buried water line from a nearby hillside spring to a pump in the middle of the field so that he could set up a stock watering tank.
