Pictures of WA. beaches.

[Melonballer]

Hello everybody. I got back earlier tonight from the WA coast and the whole time I was there I was thinking "Must take pictures for Micechat. Must post thread, get post count up. Must have better ocean pictures than tassie's".

"Ahem"

Anyways here are some pictures.

Ocean Shores

It was cloudy when we got there yesterday, so we had lunch and my mother and I went into town to look around (boring). When we got back we headed to the beach and the sun started to come out. Within a half hour it was clear and pleasant. Enjoy the Ocean Shore pictures.

The first picture I took



a group of birds or an eighties band?





My parents and sister put a kite in the air.





beach shots. Ocean Shores has a nice sandy beach.

Sunset shots.

We retired to our hotel room to view the sunset. Here are the best pics I took.









I'll post more pictures soon.

Here is Ruby Beach, which is to the north of Ocean Shores. I took a brief look, but I did not go any farther than this. The walk down would not be negotiable for my sister.





It looks real pretty and I want to go back someday to really get down there to check it out.
I'm going to post the rest tomorrow. So enjoy.

Yep micechat was on my mind. I told my mom that I got to get some good shots to beat out all the great ocean shots that have been popping up on Micechat the last few weeks, including yours. She figured I would not be able to beat your pictures from Queensland.

Its at least 3 hours from Bremerton. It would be less, but you have to go around the Olympic Mountains which adds a lot of time.

I could never see anything like that beautiful pic of Ruby Beach in Queensland. And, the beach pics I posted?? I don't know if you heard about it or not, but at the beginning of this year the beaches were closed because hundreds of sharks were really close to shore in a feeding frenzy. It was amazing, but scary! I'd rather your type of beach

Absolutely awesome!! I actually love the moody gray skys around the ocean.... gray/foggy is something I never see where I am, I miss it!

That pic that Tassie quoted is perfect!!! It looks like something that would be on a postcard or in a travel brochure!!!! If you have more, we are looking forward to seeing them!

The only "beach" I have been to since I've been here had rocks for sand and came equipped with dead floating seals.

yeah no kidding...I actually have no clue where it is as my aunt took me there the second week I was up here in July.

Re: Pictures of WA. beaches.

Ok here are the rest of the pictures.

Rialto Beach

I have spent more time at Rialto Beach than probably any other in the world. It is easily accessible. It is a rocky beach with lots of driftwood.





It was hazy when we got there.



However, it cleared up.



Cake Rock. I hear it is full of chocolate.





You can see how close the forest is to the water.



And there you are. I love the driftwood on this beach. Its fun to climb up on and just sit and watch the waves. It's far enough back that you don't have to worry about the waves hitting the wood. Enjoy the photos.

I love rocky cold beaches, kind of like my Labor Day trip to Bodega Bay...I posted a thread about it earlier this week. Thanks for posting these. It is a goal of mine to get to some of the Oregon and Washington beaches one of these days. I will have to keep these in mind.

Reminds me of Goonies

But when I think beaches.. I think of places like the Outter Banks.. Hawaii..

Reminds me of Goonies

That makes sense since they filmed it in the Northwest.

Stunning photos.

Is the New Jersey still docked in Brementon? I remember seeing it there in the 80s. I used to spend a couple weeks in the summer at Port Ludlow as a kid.
