Beach walk at Dillon Beach

My Dad was asking about where we stayed in Dillon Beach - our friends rented this house (includes pictures of inside the house, which was airy and light and had an amazing view of the beach). The highlight of our first night was a midnight hot-tubbing. We were far enough from civilization that the stars were plentiful and bright, with the milky way a lighter stripe across the middle of the sky. I even saw two shooting stars. There's nothing like talking about what you want in your obituary or how you approach religion, at midnight, in a hot tub, under the milky way and with several glasses of very nice red wine sloshing around in your tummy (I forget if it was zinfandel or pinot noir or both). Although it does sound so incredibly stereotypical of what you do in your midlife in California (Marin, no less).

The next day we actually made it into the water. The beach has nice long breaks suitable for longboarders and not that bad for wimpy little body boarders like me. I couldn't stay in the water too long, unfortunately, as I had to get out once I stopped being able to feel my toes. The kids frolicked in the sand and the sand dunes (which always makes me uncomfortable - EROSION!! MUST. SAVE. THE. BEACH!). After lunch, I enjoyed a long walk along the beach by myself. Here are some of the highlights:

1. The view of the town of Dillon Beach from the actual beach. I really like the color of the cliffs.


2. There were lots of cool things washed up on the beach.


Including a spot that looked like a crab graveyard.




and many, many jellyfish with both red structures inside,


and more purple-ish ones. Very pretty.


I also went on a walk up the hill to the general store with the boy. He's so cute!


The trip was way too brief!
