My sister and her friends decided to have a beach day at Laguna Beach, just south of LA. I was pleasantly surprised that that water was not THAT cold. yes, it was really, really cold, but i was able to get in up to my knees.
My sister, about to be covered in a wave, she’s crazy. She got right into the frigid water.
See the crab, eating grass? This seagull tried to sneak a few chips, but was tricked by the clear plastic panel of the bag.

I made all of Rebecca’s friends pose for a picture. They were really good sports about it.
Oh, and I made them all go for a long walk on the beach.
My beautiful sister and I.
We stayed for my favorite time of day, sunset!
I was asked after posting my pictures of Torrey Pines, whether I prefer Florida beaches or California beaches. I feel like that is asking a parent which child they like better. I like both, but for different reasons. I love the rocks faces and tide pools of the west coast beaches,but they leave little room to lay out. Florida has long stretches of white sandy beaches with sand dunes. I guess for the time being since I see Florida beaches all the time I like the California beaches since they are not what I am used to and a little different.

What a beautiful azure Pacific view! Absolutely beautiful, the surf may be strong, but we need to keep looking. The rocky coast is a rugged beauty, a beautiful place and glorious trip! Your sister and you are quite lovely!
Your pictures are amazing!
How lovely!
Thanks for sharing:-)
You make me want to go to California. These pictures are beautiful and it looks like a fabulous Day!
These pictures are more than amazing!!! WOW...
Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful photos. That is one of my favorite areas to go to. Your beaches are quite different from ours, but there are beaches here that have lots more sand. Thanks for sharing!
an awesome anemone! Thank you for sharing with all of us!

Carly, This is actually Crystal Cove State Park which is part of the Newport Coast. It's not Laguna...I often post photos of Crystal Cove and the old beach cottages that you have in your second and third photographs (off in the distance). Crystal Cove is actually just north of Laguna Beach. One of the cottages is where the film "Beaches" was shot starring Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey back in 1988. You can see those in my recent posts. I recognized this area instantly! We love it there. The little restaurant called Beach Comber is such a fun little place to enjoy the sunset (right by the little beach cottages. I am glad you experienced this area! Lovely photos!
Beautiful shots!!

Oh my. These pictures just made me so homesick for the beaches of my youth.
Look like so much fun and the water is so lovely as is the sunset.
Wonderful beach photos. And I love how you got all of your sister's friends to hold hands and walk along the beach. Great shot!
The sunset shots are gorgeous!
What an amazing beach! U guys look like you had a swell time there. I'm envious.
I LOVE anemone! They are absolutely fascinating! Gorgeous photos...
ugh! i miss that Pacific so much...why is the water so blue there, and it's this horrible murkey green brown on the east side?
Many beautiful photos.
Nice beach shots.
Carly, wish I were there! :)
