Road to Lahaina, Beach walk, Maui (Nov. 14)

Pulled over after driving out to Lahaina and then retreating. Mostly stalked the beach crabs hoping to get close enough to get a decent photo with my phone. They built interesting little piles of sand next to the holes they excavated. They made small balls of sand with their pincers, which I think must be some sort of feeding behavior? The patterns around their holes has attracted my attention on many beaches.

Took some photos of the plants that were in a narrow band between the sand and the road. The nut could have floated in from anywhere and I wondered if it was one of the many ocean current traveling seeds?

Beach crabs, maybe 1” to about 8” across between tips of legs. They run to their hole or hang out at the entrance and disappear if one tries to get close. They make little balls by scraping at the surface of the sand.
