We will post various fun and perhaps surprising items "found on the beach" here. Some belong there, and some don't!
2024 is coming to a close
....and we will be renewed in the coming year.
Found! ...on the Traverse City state park beach. (officially: " Kieth J. Charters Traverse City State Park").
This was in August and someone is optimistic that the waive action is going to allow this to stay through the entire rest of the year. Re-purposing stones and shells is fun!
Optimism rules!!!
One Giant Step for Mankind
Found! ...on South Haven's North Beach.
I guess that 8 inch step up is too risky to take here.
Oh wait a minute, it looks like some one has broken the rules here, leaving tell-tale footsteps in the sand.......
Designer's Delight!
Found! on Petoskey State Park beach was this creative design by a budding artist. It's always attractive to find such designs on beaches, or to make them yourself.
Now for even more fun, what do you interpret the creation to be? (I see this one as up to interpretation). Email us at info@seamichigan.com with what you see here, by Oct 31, and the best idea will win a Sea Michigan hat.
Birds like Sea Michigan too!
Here a great blue heron is not really relaxing on the shoreline like the rest of us. This magnificent creature is fishing, and is a darn good one too. This location: half way out on Muskegon's Pere Marquette South Break wall... is not a very common siting during mid-day in the summer though. We're all too use to the gulls instead.
Here fishy, fishy.....
It's a Michigan thing!
Shoes (and other articles of clothing) left by the parked car as one rushes out to the beach/shoreline and water! Hey, those shoes are so unnecessary on a beach. We all trust each other in this Sea Michigan environment! ;o)
(and no, that is not my GMC AT4!)
Water, here we come!!!
Yeah Baby!
There is something about a sunny day in the middle of summer that brings out those great vintage vehicles. And, especially the rag top or topless variety! This Chevy is a beauty, found on Old Mission Harbor on the east arm of Grand Traverse Bay.
Surprise! A jaw-dropping experience...
Well, it's not everyday that one comes across a find like this to sink your teeth into! I suppose if a seagull came along, it would make it's smile a lot wider.
