We emerged from a hidden side path in the coastal forest to a high promontory overlooking two coves…pure magic!

We went in search of a secret way to a hidden cove…and ended up on top of a tall, narrow cape overlooking two hidden coves! Found our way down, spent the day in the company of sunbathing seals - bliss!

We hiked many miles along a boulder-strewn stretch of coastline in search of urchin pools. Not a soul around except whoever was in the Goodyear blimp!

Big shapes, compositions, perspectives from our cape hike.

Come along with us to the top of the cape! Sorry, you’ll have to bring your own lunch. 😁

Big sky and sea from the cliff’s edge

Yesterday’s hike to the top of a cape, where the views were spectacular and the skies and sea were outrageously beautiful! It was our first time up here when the winds weren’t knocking us over!

In the Boardman Corridor, going cove-to-cove when the tide is high means going up and over again and again!

Happy me in the morning!

More pics from yesterday’s morning beach wander…the best way to start the day!

Yesterday’s wander was filled with wonder (and a little splashing in the brisk water)

Rocks, surf, seastacks, cliffs

Yesterday we scrambled down a cliff to our favorite hidden cove in the Boardman Corridor. Hours of beach wandering all by ourselves….more! More!

We walk the beaches each morning, soaking up all the loveliness. For Wonder Mike, it is his favorite part of the day. 😁

Big rocks for climbing!

A beach of sentimental value to us…it is hidden, entrance unmarked from the road. And the reveal at the end of the steep path down to it is phenomenal. Seastacks, rocks, driftwood, the occasional seal and us. Sigh. Perfection.
