Beach conditions were so prime today----just as clear, clean and beautiful as ever. A school of rays was spotted from the Alys Beach dune walkover this morning around 9:30---- following is a link to the video.

Amazing pictures. Saw a few in PCB yesterday, but nothing like this.

Glad you got to see them!

I was stalking them all last weekend in various Sowal locations and the closest I came was a dark cloud that kept moving around - but never turned into individual rays.

That is too much! Sure wish I'd seen them.

We saw them pass by One Seagrove Place on Sunday. They must be just cruising up and down the beaches. Maybe they will decide to become permanent residents!!!!

i was there on monday at seacrest when a small school came swimming up close. it was a very peaceful feeling to see them but i wondered if they were in danger from the oil and dispersants and having to change their usual patterns. everyone just watched them swim toward the beach then back out again and they kept going back and forth near the sandbar-great way to teach kids about nature up close. i was with my 5 year old.

...having to change their usual patterns...

Actually, they are in a very usual migratory pattern. Cool to watch, huh?
