This area never ceases to amaze me. There is an alligator on the beach at the Spooky Lane beach access right now. He is swimming, surfing and every once in a while he comes out. WCS is on the scene keeping spectators far away and the trapper is supposedly on the way. Here are some pics I took.
Cheers, Geo

i'd love to see a gator doing this, from a safe distance. they were here before us, and he didn't seem to be bothering anyone. i hope he got relocated.
as for the people thinking it was trapped in the surf, i truly doubt it. and for the ones who don't think gators can handle salt water, i can personally attest to the fact that they don't care about the salt water. i went gator hunting off the coast of Georgia last fall (AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!) and we got our gator in the intercoastal waterway marsh just off Cumberland Island. we saw tons of gators out there swimming around, way off the island. i've been to Cumberland, Jekyll, (and the Okeefenokee) all my life, but never saw any in the marshes until that night last fall. we harpooned a seven footer, and boy was it tasty!!!
