Beach walks 30 January 2016

Rain, snow, wind, off and on sun...what is a person to do? So I went to the coast. It rained a lot while I was in the car but not a drop while on the beaches. I visited several, most new to me. It was a beautiful day - the clouds and rainbows were gorgeous!  The waves were quite impressive too. My first stop was the pullouts on the Otter Crest Loop, Devil's Punchbowl (tide wasn't low enough to get to the punchbowl), Yaquina Head Lighthouse, Ona State Park, and finally Yaquina Bay State Park.

Ona eventually turned to sand again

The rocks had rocks inside of rocks
