Recently we found this piggy bank washed in near Sebastian Beach. After cleaning, the pig’s cute features became visible. She has flowers, hearts, and horseshoes on her body, a little barrette on her head, and a smile on her face. So adorable! Even more impressive is her journey. I got the complete story from an expert at the Sea Bean Festival. This little pig probably floated away from Cuba around 1993-1994. She likely spent many years in the Sargasso Sea, before riding an ocean current to Sebastian Beach. Imagine the stories she could tell – she must have floated by sea turtles, fish, and dolphins. Everything at the beach has its own special story!
