We took the dogs to the beach on Tuesday!
We wanted to find a beach that wasn’t packed full of people on towels, so the dogs could run.
We found a beach just down from the San Onofre State Beach.
San Onofre is a closed nuclear power plant. You will see in some of the photos
I took so many photos I decided to divide the post into different parts.
Here is the first, and all the shots without the dogs in them.
The view..
The waves were coming in almost right on top of each other.
Those big waves out there in the back are 8 foot high.
Looking up the coast you can see the nuclear plant.
A closer look at the plant. My dad used to refer to this plant as the Dos Chichi. Two breasts..
We did find a beach that had hardly anyone on it…
Behind us was more beach sand leading up to this bluff. The path down is just to the left hand side of the frame, the car is parked up there. It was steep!
I would’ve taken pictures on the way down, but the dogs were on leashes. I kept thinking, one rabbit.. If they see one rabbit..I’m done for. lol
The next one is not nuclear waste, but there is a seaweed bank just south of this shot. There are many rip tides as the tide comes in and it is pulling up the green from it. It did look odd though.
Not many swimmers out, it was a dangerous set of waves coming in. Only experienced swimmers and surfers were in the water.
The last one is my daughter in law taking a picture, and a surfer behind her.
Look for part 2, (My daughter in law’s photographs!) coming soon.
Have a great day. Stay cool!
Thank you Tas! It was very relaxing, the surf sounded so awesome.
Such a great day for the beach.
I can’t believe I missed this one. You take such great pictures. Your captures just make the pictures just come to life in a special way.
Thank you so much LaJenna, that really means a lot! I appreciate it.
Wow!! You’re always going to beaches!!
you must love it a lot!!
Looks really fun!!
I like the beach, but I prefer warmer waters to swim in, I wish I could swim in this part of the ocean. The dogs love it, and it is nice to watch the waves. Thank you Alibb!
That reactor feels like it is far to close to the ocean. Awesome pictures Kim!
Yup, I agree. It got shut down because of leaks. May not of been the best places to go.. But hey the beach was not crowded. lol
And of course, there is that great glow everywhere 🙂 Bubonic Plague, leaky nuclear reactors, the Kim tour of California! Don’t forget fire posts last year!
lol makes ya want to just come and stay awhile, doesn’t it? giggles.
Oh yeah. I booked my ticket yesterday (bought a ticket for the west coast to quote the song).
Well, by all means come on out. I can be your tour guide, which one do you want to visit first? Heck, its california, we can visit them all in one day. We could even find some sink holes and mudslides!!
Wow, what lovely photos. Looks like a beautiful day for the beach.
Thank you Brenda! It was a great day at the beach, not too hot, not too cold.
