Kalaloch Beach

Backing up with this blog... A few weeks ago we were aimed at a beach, or rather a group of beaches along the WA coast north of us by some of the locals here! There's Kalaloch Resort, and below it are Kalaloch Beaches 1-6. Each having different qualities to appreciate. Beach number 4 was suggested for it's beautiful pebbly beach, roch formations and great tide pools. We were also told that Ruby Beach up there is a must. We only made it to #4, but plan on doing another trip at the end of summer after Bubba is born and I've healed enough to do the hike!

Number 4 is beautiful. It's a beautiful lush scenic short hike down, down meaning steep, not bad steep, but almost bad steep for preggos. lol Luckily daddy, nana and popa were all cool with my plodding and occasional break. lol It was worth it though people. Somebody took some huge driftwood and built a bridge over the little stream running to the ocean. This came out on a really cool rock formation that we got to do a little scramble over to a really cool pebble beach. Livie played while we walked down to the cropping of rocks we assumed would be the tide pools. It was great, waves crashing, an almost perfect kiddie depth tide pool behind the largest rock for Livie to play in. The tide was coming in, so we didn't get to appreciate the sea life and have Livie experience the sea anemones like we had hoped, so we are GOING BACK for sure. We had fun scrambling over the rocks, taking pictures and exclaiming over how great it was! lol

I have always loved the beach and ocean. For me it's a peace i can't find anywhere else, a humbling and appreciation for life that I get there. It's something that I need. And taking people there and having them experience and coming to love it as I do is a great feeling. Every time Rich goes, he loves it even more and more. Watching Livie having fun, chasing the water and running from it giggling hysterically, her rock and shell picking, and her wet little butt trudging along.....

Anyhow, we had fun and i would strongly suggest it to anyone to visit. At the end of the summer I'll post about Ruby Beach too!
