The Destination
We decided, after a bit of internet research, that the Orr's and Bailey Island area would be an ideal locale for our next beach-combing excursion; in addition to the obvious conclusion that islands happen to have a lot of beachfront, this particular set has claim to several coves, places that nautical knickknacks have a tendency to wash up in. As a counterpoint, one consideration we had to make was just how much of a tourist destination the islands are. This means lots of pedestrian traffic on the beaches, which inevitably leads to the inadvertent crushing under-foot of otherwise good pieces, as well as a thorough picking-over of anything that made it's way far enough up the shore to be noticed.
