Trip Report

Tonight, in the mid-October was 64°F on Florence’s North Jetty. From somewhat busy parking lot we walked north to the Driftwood Shores beach where we found thousands of people walking two giant labyrinths carved in the sand. After the crowded labyrinth walk and 6:30PM sunset will have returned to North Jetty.
