Beach 3 – Post 8 of our August Seattle trip

Time to go to the beach! There are closer beaches, but I wanted to go to Beach 1, 2, 3 or 4. Those are the most boring names possible for a few of the most beautiful and remote beaches on the west coast (excluding Alaska).

The hike down to the beach was beautiful.

The weather was typical for Washington beaches. At first we hoped the fog might burn off, but it never did while we were there.

These guys are surf fishing.

Here’s how you dress for the beach in Washington, even in August.

Bare legs because – it’s the beach! And as many warm things on top as possible because – it’s cold! And if your ears are sensitive, you’ll need something over them to block the cold wet wind.

After we got away from the fishermen, we were able to let Biska off the leash. She was just a streak on the beach.

Tide pools!

After our hike on the beach, we drove the rest of the way around the peninsula. I can’t remember why that seemed like a good idea. It turned out to be longer than we had anticipated!
