Hot Water Beach a dissapointment

Here is Tommy digging along side dozens of other excited tourists at the renowned Hot Water Beach at low tide. Unfortunately "the swell was too high" today and even at dead low tide the water did not go out far enough to allow anyone to get a personal hand dug spa. We did find one spot that you could feel was warmer than the ocean water, but a wave washed into it about 15 seconds later.

We came along the shovel for $2 at a yard sale the day before and felt very happy we had not wasted $5 on renting a shovel from the little store by the parking lot.
