Cedar Island, Virginia

We took two trips to Cedar Island, a barrier island bordering the Atlantic Ocean, when we were in Wachapreague last weekend. Carolyn and Adam took us out on Saturday in their 19 foot Carolina Skiff, and then we made a stop during our Captain Rick ecology tour on Sunday.

M* had fun chasing ghost crabs back into their holes.

Hermit crabs can be found in the waters on the bay side of the island.

Unfortunately, we found many balloons on the beach. They can be fatal to certain sea creatures.
