This used to be a secret spot (not THE most guarded secret spot in our area, but still well guarded for many years). I googled before making this post to make sure I wasn’t spilling any beans. There are other sites that will give you directions and more. I’m just here to give you a little glimpse. If you want to find it, you’ll have to do your own work.

This was my favorite beach back when I was 18, 19 and 20. I’d come and watch my boyfriend surf or I’d just come by myself (with my dog; nowadays I would never bring a dog here) and a towel and a book. I love the hike in.

For today’s sojourn Steve came along. We looked at shells and rocks and birds and checked out the tide pools. It rained earlier in the day and was really cloudy/overcast when we got there, but within 45 minutes it was all sun and got pretty toasty.

When did starfish become Sea Stars? Why did the name change? Anyone know? (I guess I could google that.)

I gathered up all the turbans I could find in just a 3-foot radius (all well above the water level and without any living creatures inside). Quite a few in such a small space. When the tide began lapping at my heals I moved my bounty to higher ground. Before I left I deposited them back into several different pools. Maybe a crab would like a new home.
