I have officially seen it all:

Say hello to Grant Long, a senior at York High School. Like many other kids in Maine, Grant laced up his skates earlier this month after bitter cold temps created good ice conditions.

One small difference: instead of hitting up the local pond, Grant went to Long Sands Beach in York, Maine. He went to the beach! THE BEACH!!! You can even see the famous Nubble Light in the distance toward the end of the video.

His mom, Jill, snapped the picture of him above, adding that “we had just gone down to take some photos at dusk, and he happened to have skates in the back of his car.”

Thanks, Jill and Grant, for sharing this incredible moment with all of us!

Sandals or skates? What’s your preferred beach footwear? Ever seen anything like this? Tell us in the comments below!
