What coastal creature leaves braid-like trace that has clear landing and take off points?

I think (and I am definitely no expert), that this is the American Toad (Anaxyrus americanus). It is unlikely to be a Fowler's Toad (Anaxyrus fowleri) or a Woodhouse's Toad (Anaxyrus woodhousii), or a …

Identification of bones, looking like a fox / dog, from Poland in a lake / forest area

Identifying a coastal shark with a broad dorsal fin
