Beach Rhythms

Miles and miles of Oregon beaches and only a few other souls around. A drive out the South Jetty Road south of Florence, a quick hike over the dunes and we are back on the beach. We walked for miles and only saw a few other people. We wandered out onto the jetty and watched 3 seals watch us. The waves roll in and out with their soothing rhythm, we could sit here all day watching the seals and the fishing boats.

Miles of sand and ocean. A beautiful 55 degree day.
I’m not sure who was watching who. Three seals kept us company while we sat on the jetty.
A fishing boat working hard.
Darrin found a beautiful sand dollar. We threw it back in the ocean, just in case someone was still living in it.

Sea Lion or driftwood?

Tidbit: The beach we were on is part of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area which stretches approximately 40 miles along the coast. Oregon really has done a nice job preserving the coast for all instead of the few.
