    Wow, it almost looks like ancient cave drawings in the sand! Or tree roots, even!

    Looks a bit like a small wash up of red algae, through I thought that red algae was of warmer waters.

    I like the texture the receding tide left marked in the algae.

    Like the pic!

    But that red algae is usually really thick when it washes up really stinks as it rots.
