Today was a day for relaxing around the cottage. Low tide was around 1:30 pm and the girls were eager to get down to the beach. Here is the access down to the water.

This was from earlier this morning while the tide was still in. The forecast for today was showers.

Looking down to the water.

Around noon the girls headed down to the beach to catch the tide going out.

A look back at our cottage, the “Ocean View”.

Lots of seaweed covered rocks made for slippery rocks.

Claudia found a starfish, here it is with some of the sea glass the girls have been beachcombing.

Claudia found a rock with some stuff attached, Gillian said it looked like a turnip.

Sea sacs.

There were lots of hermit crabs of all sizes.

I found a razor clam shell.

Claudia and Angela caught a crab.

I think it is a Rock Crab (Cancer irroratus).

The weather held out while we were down at the beach.

A hole in the cliff.

Claudia finally on a beach in the water and sand.

Claudia went back for a boogie board we had brought with us.

The sun finally came out, there was a nice breeze down at the water but once you got up top it was hot. We headed back for lunch and to watch the last few hours of the Olympics. The rain came by late afternoon.
