Ron Good points. These grow directly in the sand in the beach. Bad shot, I agree. Not my typical nor typical to take only one. Took with cell. I'll keep a look out and see if they are around still. This was in March so I think they should still be there and in bloom still.

Could be Ipomoea indica or Ipomoea nil...not enough details of the sepals in the photo for anyone to make a totally positive ID...
