Henderson Beach – Double Rainbow!


Farther north is Destin and Henderson Beach State Park. The park is listed in many top state parks. Unfortunately for us, we’re in a rainy season with about a week of rain in the forecast. Our first day we made it out to the beach for a little while. There were red flags (heavy waves and undertow) along with purple flags (dangerous marine life) out. The dangerous marine life is man-of-war. I love the colors in the floating portion while I’m not eager to experience the stings in the tentacle portion.

This was just a gorgeous piece of art. This shoe washed up on the beach and was decorated by all these shells with living creatures all over it.

Gult Coast Lulpine on the beach dunes. This species is considered threatened.


And we saw a double rainbow! Not the normal rainbows, but the type around the sun (a halo). Pretty special!
