Ryan Pageau-Trip to Yorktown Beach

Yesterday I was sitting at home around 1:00 doing homework when my friend asked me what I did last night. We had a short talk, and I asked her the same thing. She told me she went to Yorktown beach. Since im not from around this area I had no clue what beach she was talking about. She said "take j clyde like 20 minutes and you will see signs for it." I said ok, im going to go check it out.

I hopped in my car with my dog and we headed down j clyde. All I kept seeing was signs for Yorktown so I figured I was on the right track and just kept driving. As the mileage to Yorktown got smaller, I became more assured that I would make it there. I finally got to a bridge, and started driving over it when I realized the beach was getting further from me because I drove directly past it.

I got over this massive bridge and as I come down the other side I see there is a toll booth. So, I paid the toll only to immediatly make a u-turn and pay the exact same toll over again. I made my way back across the same bridge and saw the beach, this time getting closer rather than farther. I pull into Yorktown, and saw shops, restaraunts, etc on my left, and the beach a little further down.

I parked my car, got my dog, and walked the beach for 30 minutes of so. This beach was a lot nicer. the sand actually crumbled between your toes unlike the packed sand of buckroe beach. This beach was also a lot less noisy. Not many people were out there with me, and it was nice to not hear people talking and kids screaming for once. All I could really hear was the small waves coming in, and my dogs ruckus.
Overall I think this beach trip was a little better only because it was a lot more peaceful.
