Beautiful part of the world; but I kept well away from the lugworms. Yuck.

I agree with you. Now that we have moved one mile up from the beach, I so miss the roar of the surf that was a part of my world since 1966.

I’ve seen castings like that on Maine beaches, but didn’t know what made them, other than “sandworms.” Now I also have a new biological reference tool, ARKive. Thank you for spurring my curiosity, John!

Hugs from Corea, ~ Sil

I’d never heard of a lugworm, although apparently there are some lugworm varieties also found on this side of the Atlantic. (Of course, although I live near the coast now, I grew up ninety miles upstream from NY City, on the Hudson River, and spent a quarter century or so living even further into upstate New York, so I’m not exactly an expert on the ocean shore.) Still, I love a walk along the beach any time of year.

Living in a small row of cottages on the tideline. Sounds ideal. I could spend my days walking quietly on the beach – avoiding lugworms…

It does sound blissful…

Seems like I’ve heard this before…one day I bet you just end up there :)
It sounds like my desire…

I said I’d love to live there, with the sound of the sea an eternal background. Graham said that I am nuts.

If you press your foot close to a lugworm hole (the beastie is way, way down, out of harm’s way) then it spits water in the most engaging way.
