According to the National Park's website, it hosts Europe's largest coastal dune heaths. The heathlands here are full of life, with diverse heather species, mosses, lichens and more. Tough little plants that don’t mind salty winds and sandy soil.

It wasn't the best of sunsets, but it was the best beach to be at for sunset, so I had fun trying to catch the beautiful colours. I failed miserably but this came close. There wasn't much flat wet sand to get reflections, so I took off my shoes, attached them to my camera bag and paddled at low tide . Much later I discovered my shoes weren't attached, and the thought of a half mile walk back to the cottage in bare feet , with resultant thistle punctures necessitated a mad dash to find them. Fortunately they hadn't drifted out to sea, so Lost and found , by Alabama 3 is perfect.
Under a warm July sun, Saluda, North Carolina hosted its 62nd annual Coon Dog Day on Saturday, July 12, 2025. The festival, a staple in this small mountain town, drew thousands of visitors throughout the day and into the night. What began decades ago as a simple gathering organized by the Blue Ridge Coon Dog Association has grown into a full-day celebration of local culture, coonhounds, and Appalachian tradition—while still maintaining a strong community feel.
The day kicked off at 8 a.m. with a 5K run and a separate fun run, both of which were fundraisers for the local school. Runners gathered at McCreery Park and made their way down Main Street, passing through the heart of Saluda. Despite the rising heat, turnout was solid. The event was chip-timed and open to anyone, with many participants returning year after year more for the tradition than competition.
After the race, Main Street quickly filled up. Dozens of vendors lined the sidewalks, setting up tents under the shade of trees and awnings. Food trucks and booths served regional staples—barbecue, cornbread, fried snacks, sweet tea. Other vendors sold handmade goods, woodcrafts, soap, antiques, dog gear, and Coon Dog Day merchandise. The crowd moved steadily, stopping to browse or chat with friends and neighbors. Music played on speakers around the park and stage area, creating a low background hum that never really stopped.
By 11 a.m., the parade began. People lined both sides of Main Street early to get a good view, setting up chairs or standing behind temporary barricades. Leading the procession were fire trucks and emergency vehicles from local departments, followed by restored antique cars and tractors. Then came the homemade floats—some built by local businesses, others by clubs or longtime residents. The highlight for many was seeing the coonhounds walk through with their handlers. Black-and-tans, redbones, blueticks, walkers—all breeds were represented. The dogs wore bandanas, collars, or harnesses, and some even matched their owners’ outfits. For a town that honors these dogs year after year, this moment was a simple but meaningful nod to the breed's importance in the region’s hunting and working history.
