This was just outside the Campground area by Sunset Beach, very agricultural region still.
This beach is supposed to have one of the longest strands of sand in this area, but it may have been washed away in last weeks storm. It was just very rocky.
We pulled over at one of the many scenic vista points to enjoy the view.
Actually, most of the beaches on this part of the coast are quite small and inaccessable. Much of the shoreline is rocky coast, but very beautiful.
This is looking south from the overlook at Sand Dollar Beach.
Notice the surf washing up on the rock.
California's coastal Highway 1 is considered one of the most scenic roads in the country. It is 88 miles from San Simeon to Monterrey of mostly rural, steep, rugged two lane road with frequent rock slides and washouts.
This was at the beach 3 miles north of San Simeon where the elephant seals were. Lots of tourists feed the squirrels, so they are quite accustomed to people.

Very rugged coast up here, no surfers for a change
All the Ice Plant we've seen so far is green, I don't know if this is naturally red or it has something to do with it being colder up here or what.
