People all over the Bay area like to indulge their creativity when it comes to mailboxes, but near the water, receptacles for the daily post reach a whole new level of crazy.
I doubt that the Postmaster General approved all the boxes Allie and I have seen in the neighborhood, but the mail-people don’t seem to be fazed. Neither rain, nor tide, nor concrete, shell, or wooden monstrosities stay these couriers from their appointed rounds.
So far, I’ve found three basic types of “non-standard” mail boxes:
Those being held up by some large sea creature –
Seahorse Mailbox
A box disguised to look like something other than a place for mail –
Manatee Mailbox
Fishing Lure Mailbox
Hand painted or decorated boxes.
Palm Tree Mailbox
Seashell mailbox
Some box owners have a lot of talent.
Painted Pelican Mailbox
Others not so much
Mermaid Mailbox
Shark Mailbox
If you are still curious about beach mailboxes, there are plenty more here.
