Facts About Sealife for Your North Carolina Vacation

The beautiful beaches of North Carolina draw visitors from around the world. Noted for the breathtaking dunes that dot the sand-covered beachfront, the North Carolina shoreline is also home to many types of sea life. For your next vacation, you can plan on observing the plethora of creatures who make the sea and its surrounding environs home. 

Crustaceans

The crustaceans of North Carolina sport spiny and hard exoskeletons and many-jointed legs. Admittedly, several eventually find their way into the delicious seafood dishes of North Carolina chefs. But animal lovers benefit from seeing them in their home habitats in and along the North Carolina coast. Crustaceans that you might glimpse on the beach or in the Atlantic include barnacles, shrimp, lobsters and crabs like the Acorn barnacle, Pink shrimp, Spiny lobster and Blue crab.

Mammals

Numerous mammals make the North Carolina coast their home. They include those found in the sea, such as the Atlantic Spotted dolphin and bottle-nosed dolphin. You might also notice land mammals, like rabbits, chipmunks, raccoons and some that can even do double-duty, like beavers. 

Fish

The saltwater fish that inhabit the sea on the North Carolina coast provide a visual riot for the eyes. Once you have booked a place to stay, selecting from Bald Head Island vacation rentals and other spots on or near the beach, you can find out ways to observe nearby nature on your trip. For example, charter boats offer guided tours where you can learn more while out on the ocean. You might watch Red Mackerel, Bluefish or Spotted Trout from the shipside. Other fish common to the area include Spotted Sea Trout and Red Drum.


Spending time out in wild areas and natural spots helps reset the body back to a calm state. For this reason, making plans to enjoy the coastal habitats along the North Carolina beaches can not only teach you about the gorgeous creatures that live there but can enable you to relax and enjoy your time on vacation fully.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

The Good, The Bad But Not Ugly

MISSING AND NOW BACK IN ACTION...  I checked back my last post and it was 8 March last month and today is 19 April, less than two months only.  So what has been happening in my life?  Lots and lots... good news, bad news, sad news... all concerning health and I guess this is our life cycle as we live day by day.   My health is also not that "fantastic" during the past few months, but mine is a small rock compared to giant boulder which my best buddy is undergoing... I guess some of you know what is happening to her from her blog posts.  I was totally devastated when this happened to her, my tears couldn't help falling and my heart goes out to her.  I am ashamed to say that instead of me giving the comfort that she needs, I am the one that have been receiving her strength in times like this.  She might be crushed physically but she is not broken in her spiritual mind and soul.  One word... "Unbreakable!"  She is a shining example..... "What can death do to m

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!
