Today was a glorious day. Crisp fall temperature with low humidity, a breeze and few clouds in the sky. Towards the end of our run today, I commented to my friend Dina how glorious it was and I needed to find something to do outside. She asked if I would be interested in going to Glass Beach with her. She needed to go by the main base briefly and then we could continue on the way south to Glass Beach. Yes, please!!
Here is the route if we were to leave from our housing area.
I was in love the minute I stepped out of the car. There was ample parking and there were only a few other visitors.
We started on the sea glass side and walked around toward the other side that had pottery pieces!! The seaweed created a strong brine smell. It made me think of Rhode Island. And it made me realize what I was always missing in Great Lakes – salty air!!
There was so much sea glass!! It wasn’t hard to find and the pieces were huge. I couldn’t believe this little gem of a beach is so close to our house! I see beach chairs in our future.
My favorite picture of the day!
It was pretty breezy on the point. Check out our hair!
The pottery side.
At the top of the point is a small Japanese lighthouse.
And of course some sort of shrine.
A few more pictures of the amazing view.
And finally a picture of my bounty.
This will definitely be on the Julia tour schedule. It was breathtaking.
Ps. Did you catch the part where I mentioned I have a new running friend!! I haven’t ditched my favorite running partner, Dave. Just adding a few runs a week with Dina for social time. Run Happy!
