The bus took us out to Bastendorff Beach, a few miles south of us. Ahead of time, the organizers hid lovely glass floats (we were educated that these are not "balls" but floats) in the grasses along the dunes. These blown glass floats are made by a local Indian artist, and the name of the Sawmill Casino is stamped on the bottom.
We were entitled to a glass float each and found them in no time.

Then the two of us went for a quick walk before heading back to camp. We could happily have spent more time on this scenic beach.
