It’s an almost 1/2 mile (675 Meter) trek to the beach, most of it through an open marsh with this one dead tree standing at the edge of the walkway.
One small fishing boat cruised back and forth parallel to the beach.
Brown Pelicans and some terns and/or gulls were feeding.
A few dolphin passed by, too, but alas no photo.

This was one of the rare times I have spotted a frog; usually if they are around I hear a “splash” after they have jumped into the water or they are totally camoflaged. This one was not quite hiding in duckweed that was more brown than the usual green.

A couple more pre-sunrise images of a marsh at Bear Island. I could tell the color wasn’t going to be much so worked on getting the dewy grass in the foreground. While avoiding a giant ant hill.
The water was like glass, but there wasn’t much to reflect in it.
