Sunset Cliffs

in Beach on March 8, 2016 March 8, 2016

Sunset cliffs is exactly as advertised: beautiful cliffs overlooking the Pacific ocean that glow gold as the sun begins to set. This spot is always a lovely place to hike around and sit and watch the waves come in. It also happened to be 20 minutes from our hotel on the San Diego waterfront. That was easy!

Rock in the water

Waves breaking

The sandstone is soft, so people leave messages.

Moss at low tide

As green as the lawns outside the mansions lining the waterfront.

Interesting round rock out by the waves

Another angle

Nothing but blue sky. Haven't seen that in a while at home. — Nothing but blue sky. Haven’t seen that in a while at home.

I wonder what happened to make the rock look like this

This is the sun...underexposed. — This is the sun…underexposed.

Waves against the cliffs

I couldn’t think of a more scenic way to kill a few hours before dinner! Maybe someday I’ll have enough time to go for a run along the coast out here. 😉
