Since we are directly on the Atlantic Ocean, it's often quite choppy, and unsuited to leisurely and placid swimming. 5 minute walk east from our beach brings one to Halcyon Bay. This is sheltered by coral and limestone formations, especially at its 2 corners, so that at low tide there are basically 2 huge saltwater swimming baths, surrounded by crashing waves which hardly ruffle its surface. We often swim there, and sometimes snorkel, in complete safety. Here are a couple of recent videos.
A blog that provides up-to-date information about the world's leading (according to Google) hummingbird sanctuary, on high bluffs overlooking Long Island Sound, Riverhead, New York. The sanctuary is private and not open to the general public. Paul's Email: paul.adams%stonybrook.edu. We sometimes livestream from the sanctuary, at youtube.com/channel/UCvTj9WdD0zItyBLI6m-U9Og/live
