The seaweed is not a deterrent to a walk. We can walk around it or right through it. It is not soft like the sand; it’s rough, a little scratchy, but crushable and feels good on the soles. It’s an organic feel and adds to the sensory delight. But we’ve moved on. Now we’re back at Sandpipers; continuing the layover before we head north to finish our summer trip in Colorado. (We expect to finish our summer trip in the snow!)
