While bike riding, we discovered the other part of the narrow peninsula, the bay side, with marshes and signs warning of gators (no we did not see any!). We saw the majestic birds (herons?) fishing in the bay.
Here we also found fiddler crabs with their one oversized claw, and watched them all raise that claw in unison, like some sort of salute. (We later researched this and found this to be a mating ritual).
We rode our bikes along the paved road back to the rental cabins and beyond, where we saw several deer, who were not at all scared, and seemed to posed for our camera. 
Our bikes promptly stopped when getting off the pavement into the soft sand, and even though this trail beckoned, it was way too hot to do any hiking! But we did get to do some geocaching while there!
