I grew up and lived in New York so I know what walking (and driving) on ice and packed snow is like. But you reminded me, living in Florida now, that soft sand is the trickiest surface to walk on.
I find it easier to take off whatever footwear I have on and clench my toes and walk. and lift my legs a little higher. I have good balance but, boy it is tough at times. If the sand is too hot I will put my footwear back on and "race" for the wet sand.

@imallears and all...I never, I mean never walk on the beach with footwear. I have a really serious need to feel the sand between my toes and the waves sloshing up on my feet! It's the only way to go unless you're running or whatever. But, it's tough to take each step, and now have a hard time doing the sand walking. I miss those days and the peace it brings.

Oh, Mary, enjoy. I'll dream of the special feeling and of course the view...
