Sandy Cove is a half-kilometre-long sandy beach, about three km off the paved road closest to it. It took about twenty minutes to creep the car along the potholed dirt road that goes to it. But it was worth the effort.

I don't know enough birds to have known when I saw them that these are sanderlings. But, having looked them up when I got home, I think that's what they were. Sandy Cove had hundreds of them.

Besides us and the sanderlings, there was a small group of people at the far end of the beach. Lovely visit.
