If you go down to the beach today your in for a big surprise
I was chatting to my brother on the phone at the weekend and he said that his friend saw a dead dolphin on the beach. Probably washed up in the recent storms. 
I was wondering if anyone else has seen anything else interesting while down at the beach. A little more light hearted than a dead dolphin though please.
bottles with messages in etc you get the picture.......
for us back home with no beaches to walk, we can only dream.

Well... I was down at Fistral Beach in Newquay this summer and I saw a used sanitary towel float past my boogie board. Does that count?

On some beaches the white pointers can be an interesting distraction.

At Byron, two Koala's wearing thongs, slapping on suncream and reading a Harry Potter book. Then a Kangaroo drove up in a Dune Buggy, smoking a bong, with a bandana on and eating wotsits.
The weirdest thing was, it wasn't even sunny.
