They make the sand much easier to navigate. I often see folks needing the "beach wheelchair" be pushed down the carpets.

A red carpet seems a bit fancy for any other purpose. It's too small for people to drive on (unless it's a motorcycle or something), and it doesn't actually reach all the way to the water which is what I'd expect if it were people carrying seaweed across the beach. But left over from a wedding makes a lot of sense--especially considering that it was near a lot of infrastructure for civilization. (On the back side of the beach, behind the photo, were lots of buildings with restaurants, lodging, and who knows what all.) Easy and scenic place for someone to want a wedding. =)<br /><br />-- RyanRyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243706924573005381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838884300056139535.post-80299303883536252582017-05-12T18:28:32.420-07:002017-05-12T18:28:32.420-07:00Was there any seaweed harvesting going on near the...Was there any seaweed harvesting going on near the carpet?JA Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416639475514412551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838884300056139535.post-51230531729258260472017-05-12T08:45:09.776-07:002017-05-12T08:45:09.776-07:00I thought the carpet was left over from a beach we...I thought the carpet was left over from a beach wedding.
