Beach Combing and Tidepooling

This was one of the beaches we visited. The rocks are gorgeous and look just like they did in Goonies.
Just a dog being walked on the beach.
I couldn't get close enough to touch these starfish, but they were so colorful and bright that I was able to take a good picture of them.


Aren't these neat the way they curl up like that?




Another picture of the rocky beach. We would climb out onto the rocks, but carefully because the tide was rising and the ocean was so powerful there. A little scary.



More starfish, anemones, tube-like creatures.






















This was one of the funnest mornings we spent there. In fact, we had walked so far on the beach that we determined we must have roamed for a couple of miles gawking at all the creatures. We were huffing and puffing on our way back. Sand isn't so easy to walk quickly on.

The coast is so different from our lovely desert.

Ah, the Goonies. That brings back pleasant childhood memories. Thanks for the smile this morning.

If you're referring to memories of Goonies, I have fond memories as well.
