Finally, Marco Island beachgoers officially said goodbye to Tropical Storm Debby and got back to what they wanted to do most — enjoy the beach front.
While the waves still churned and the wind was brisk, people from around the country enjoyed the day, Sunbathing, shelling, surfing and fishing brought back the good old vacation feelings.
Between waves, Don Shaurette of Buford, Ga., tried his luck at fishing. Daughter Danielle of Alexandria, Va., added shells to her collection that she wouldn't find on northern beaches.
Youngsters Jack and Kaya Myers, Elena, Elice and Olivia Dinehart, all of Miami, finally had a nice day, unfortunately their last on Marco Island.
Rylen Ritter and Rita Daniel of Galena, Ohio, enjoyed making sand castles and a few sandy alligators.
Now a nice stretch is needed for the weekend and Fourth of July week.
