2026 LAPC #380 – Around the Corner (at the Beach)

What we saw as we walked out of our hotel room and walked onto the beach to observe the Atlantic Ocean was different and unique to our surroundings. It was the first time for Coleman to visit the beach and step into the Atlantic Ocean. I hadn’t been to this beach since 2010 or any other beach since 2020.

Here are a few interesting finds seen on our walk the day after New Year’s Day.

Our first sighting after walking out of the hotel …

The outdoor pool area
with plenty of places
to Pull Up a Seat.

Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, the outdoor pool areas were closed for the season (unheated & closed).

The Pirate Shipwreck
Lagoon Kids’ Waterpark

The outdoor pools and kids shipwreck area would not be comfortable to get into without any heat during the wintertime. Moving away from the pools here’s what we discover next …

Coleman checks
out the “Dolphin,”
a unique design
for a trash receptacle.

The next thing Coleman spots is the beach access, and away he goes …

Coleman headed
out to the beach

Once out onto the sandy beach, Coleman turns left to see what he might discover.

Naturally, Coleman
is anxious to discover
what he might find.
Maybe some Seashells?
Mostly broken,
but a few
whole Seashells

We walked quite a ways down the beach before turning around. Coleman was enthralled with watching the Ring-Billed Gulls (just known to him as Seagulls). Here are a few of our Gulls sightings …

And how can we not watch the waves rolling in and out of the Atlantic Ocean, you can’t go to the beach and not . Can you?

We hope y’all enjoyed walking along Myrtle Beach’s Seashore with us.

Anything that works against you can also work for you
once you understand the
Principle of Reverse.

Ring-Billed Gull & its Reflection

The way it actually
works is the reverse.
You must first be
who you really are,
then do what you
need to do, in order to
have what you want.
