This was also the case in the water, which made wading more difficult.
It could have been just the previous weather events immediately before I was there, but I just didn't remember it being like that so much in years past.  |
I think I know exactly what you're talking about. I was at Carolina beach in September and when I went out to walk along the beach, parallel to the water I found it was so soft my leg would sink right down! I was out at night too and it made walking incredibly difficult. I wasn't even that close to the ocean/wet areas of sand. Didn't experience this at Kure or Wrightsville though.
