Ao Yon Beach, Phuket, Thailand

We found this small local beach near our apartment and spent a lovely afternoon exploring.  The tides were very low when we first arrived allowing us to walk up the inlet and find crabs, fish, and shells.  The water was very shallow and warm which is why we saw many locals setting up picnics.

All good beach days include shovels and buckets, these were purchased during our first week on the island.  The girls used them many times, but knew this beach would be our last chance with them.  Since we couldn’t bring all of it back to Beijing in our luggage, Nola and Ivy gave some shovels and toys to some other kids on the beach.

When we saw some street food vendors setting up by the road, we knew we had to try it.  The chocolate crepes were a hit!
