Beach at Ras al Khaimah

East of the city, it is not uncommon for cattle to rummage on the beach	In some communities, cattle represent a traffic hazard as they graze the medians	The number of small boats indicates inshore fishing is still big business here (traps are placed as opposed to nets drawn)	Small fishing dhows are still in operation
This crab was one of the more interesting items scattered on the beach that day	This view illustrates the relative size and unique legs of this crab	The underside of the crab	A closeup view of the specimen
It is not uncommon for fish to be washed up	Flies have already begun the process to recycle this fish	Some of the maggots that have been feeding on the fish	The variety of fish that wash up can be amazing
This specimen has lost its eyes but otherwise appears intact	An exceptionally large sand dollar	A typical fish monger's sign; dried fish is still very popular	Young cattle grazing on the beach
