View from inside unit #4. Every year is different here at Neskowin. This year we are without our good friends Sarah and Jonathan, although their kids are making an appearance later in the week. Just as well as unit #4 only has beds for 7! My mistake when I made the reservations! But unit 4 was the only unit available for the whole week. So things work out I guess. Anyway different.
We decided not to go directly down to the beach, but to walk north on the road and then cut back in to the beach from there.
The golf course looking somewhat less water-logged than in years past at this time of year
Skunk cabbage in the ditches, looking very happy.
Beach side of the road, between houses, is full of salal and beach oaks and pines
Road between two lots, leading to a path to the beach
Path to the beach across the dunes, through the scrub
Looking south you can just see Cascade Head
Well used path
Looking back at the houses/cabins
Beach grass (the path isn't very long btw)
cut driftwood log on the path, looks like sea creatures had been boring into it
Cascade Head to the south
Cascade Head with the Breakers
Turning to walk farther north
Just foot prints from folks who got out earlier
According to the weather man, this is the last sunny day for the week ahead.
Patterns in the sand. Not much debris to pick up as they had a big storm not too long ago.
Jan. For scale
This is the winter/spring beach. Other times of the year the sand is moved about. The sand on the bar is transported inland with the big storms and form a huge berm and a short beach.
View from the deck of unit #4, with erosion warning sign that the guests seem to ignore. Many years ago the owners (each condo has it's own owner) collectively had boulders (rip-rap it's called) place on the beach side to try to stop the erosion of the existing berm. It changed the appearance from the beach forever, but at least temporarily stop the waves from eating away the bank. Until the tsunami comes of course!
