Beaches and tidepools – Page 3

Windswept at Kalaloch

This beach is long and wide open. It’s trees are all windswept since there is nothing blocking the steady winds.

A Pod of Pelicans

There were HUNDREDS of Pelicans at the beach. I’ve never seen so many at beach after beach this summer. Something tasty must have been passing thru the waters.

Pelican crash course

This was at Rialto beach on the Washington coast. There were hundreds of Pelicans this day. These two kept swimming dangerously close to these crashing waves.

Ruby Beach

I just love the Washington coast. It’s always so rugged and beautiful. And only 60-90 minutes away from Sequim.

The ocean is so powerful. It tosses these enormous logs about like a child’s tinker toy. Every time you come to this beach after a storm or super tide you see a whole new batch. There is a great lodge here with individual cabins for rent that all face the ocean–perfect for storm watching!

Washington Beaches

I believed this was at RIALTO beach (I get Rialto and Ruby beaches confused). Someday I’ll get a better note system.

Beach #2 at Kalaloch

Washington beaches get huge amounts of logs on them, especially after storms or high tides. You must be very careful to NEVER be near a log that is near the surf. The surf tosses and rolls thousand pound logs like little tinker toys, and people routinely get pinned or crushed by them.
