Magic Beach Motel



We have a new/old beach that we are going to, these days. We would go to this beach, ten to fifteen years ago, when we lived on this side of town.



Across Porpoise Point, you can see the "ancient city" sky line. 


Steve sits and waits for the Porpoises to swim by and wave their dorsal fins at him!


 St. Augustine light house on Anastasia Island.


Where the ocean comes in and meets the Mantanza River, on the other side is Anastasia Island.


My favorite "square body" is on the beach today! It is an approximately, mid 1980s Chevrolet. I love the camper on the back. Florida vintage.  

 


This is Florida "vintage" at it's finest. Pink Flamingos made out of ceramic pottery. 


Unfortunately, this little motel is scheduled to be torn down.



Magic Beach Motel! Let's hope someone saves the pottery Flamingos and the neon "rabbits out of a hat" sign! 

It was a beautiful day with the sun sparkling on the water and a balmy seventy degrees with wind, out of the northeast at nine miles an hour. We sat along side our truck, to block the wind and were quite comfortable.

You bought big bad Firestone Wranglers just so we could get to this beach and wave back at the porpoises!
