A quaint little fishing village with a sinister sounding name. No one is 100% sure where the name comes from with explanations ranging from the purported massacre of native tribesmen, the huge number of horseshoe crabs that show up in the spring to lay their eggs with several of the crabs becoming stranded and falling victim to gulls and foxes, or the name of a 19th century local postmaster named William Slaughter. The last two, in my opinion, seem the most likely.
Made it out for sunrise about halfway in between high and low tide. Winds were light, and the bay was fairly calm, and it was somewhat quite, save for the sound of gulls out in the distance.
1) Before sunrise. Found these small channels in the sand cause by the low tide and the water flowing from the waterlogged sand.

5) Some of the dune grasses with just a touch of light.
