Living in Coastal Areas

It is beautiful to live nearby the waters because of the endless opportunity of watching an awesome view. This is a boat ramp along Indian River at US 1 in Port Saint John. US 1 is the fantastic scenic route for travelers and the amazing view such as this picture is so surreal! We moved here in Cocoa just two months ago and we love this place. This particular location is just 4 minutes' drive from our home. People come here to go fishing and enjoy boating.This place is a good location to watch the rocket lift off at Cape Canaveral Air Force Base which is across the Indian River. This boat ramp is also a nice area to watch the beautiful sunrise in fact, I posted some of the pictures in this blog. You will be amazed! Anyway, my husband and I were here on this particular day to watch the Atlas V Rocket lift off!

Shrimp Boats in Front Beach

While we were routing the bridge connecting Ocean Springs and Biloxi, Mississippi, there were more than 20 Shrimp Boats lined up going to somewhere. Of course, we had nobody to ask on the whereabouts of their destination. I just grab my phone and took this picture because it reminded me of the picture of Magellan's Fleet. There are two things that these boats were sailing: (1) shrimping and (2) work for BP.
As of today, our shoreline here in Biloxi and Ocean Springs is FREE from Oil Spill caused by the oil rig disaster of Deepwater Horizon last April 20, 2010. I pray that BP can successfully cap the oil spill source before any hurricane strike. If that will happen, it will be an unimaginable catastrophe.

Davis Bayou Boat Lauch

This is Davis Bayou Boat Launch . The people in Mississippi loves the beach. They also love fishing, boating, crabbing and loves sea foods. What a better way to eat sea foods than catch it by themselves.

This is my father-in-law heading to his car after his boat ride on the bayou. At 89 years old, he loves outdoor activities and that includes boating. He lost his big boat during hurricane Katrina but, this time he bought a small one for the bayou.

This is his bayou boat, 20 ft and would carry at least 4 people. Today, three of them went for a ride at the Biloxi, Mississippi Gulf Port.

This is me, waiting at the Pier and afraid of the sunshine. It is 87 degrees in here at 2 PM.
The boys at my back just arrived from their boat ride.

Beautiful and Relaxing Place in here. If you travel in US Highway 90 heading to Louisiana State, you can pass by here and spent an hour to relax. The parking is free.

You can launch your boat at this dock. Earlier, it was crowded but all of them already on the bayou.

Do not trust the nice water, there are gators lurking in there.

The men who were happy with their boat ride.

Imagine if the gator will swim beside this 20 ft boat. It would be a very frightening experience.

They are preparing to load the boat on the ramp.

When we arrived at the bayou, some of the people launched their boat already.
This is a signage going to the fishing pier. We came from the bayou boat launch area.

This park has so many amenities. Like this one here, half a mile trail if you love hiking.
Nice view of the bayou.

Dock area

Because it is Sunday today, a lot of the people went for a boat ride. You can see the cars parked here and all of them, their boats were already on the water.

I got two of them on this picture. They drove fast. Hoping you enjoy the pictures.
