a thing in 23 photos in 2011 ocean showing 2011 only · show all years Late evening view from our balcony. Unbelievable. No other place I'd rather be at the end of December. After some lunch, we headed down to the beach. Good times. We spotted a bunch of turtles on our way out. Another gorgeous sunset. Nothing like building a fire so well that you can't sit around it! Haha. Oh, and napping. Man, you should see just how hard I nap. This chaise lounge basically had no idea what hit it! I'm not very good at surfing, but I am excellent at enjoying breakfast with an ocean breeze. After we came down off the rocks, I went off exploring while the guys fished in the shallows. ...there's no where to go! You can't fish out here too long, because when the tide comes in... Not a bad view. I brought my camera and not my board. Haha. Here's a photo to give you an idea of how close the break is to the beach. And here's Steve surfing a wave that hopefully explains why I nearly soiled my boardshorts when I found myself on the other side of it. Surfing East Coast waves that are 5 or 6 feet is no big deal. This, however, was a whole different animal. ...and then walked south down the beach back to watch the guys surf Colorado again! ...headed down for a dip in the pool... On the way back from our hike, we met a friendly Australian and chatted a bit in the shade while we waited for the tide to go down... Other side of the river! ...and climbed up the hillside to check out the view! If you look to the right of the picture you can see the red roofs of the condo and the river mouth to the left. We made our way over the rocks... Not too shabby. ...to see the sea lions!
