See how it's now a rocky shore? We were there for high tide, and perhaps we'd caught low tide Wednesday evening.
Stace and I had taken a nice walk Thursday morning, too, but it was drizzly and cold, so we didn't go to the beach but rather checked out the shops in town and got a coffee.
We went back down to the beach after having breakfast and checking out of our place. This is me and Cora, for those wondering.
We discovered that the beach park, at the other end, had games to play! Ping pong and bocce ball, with all the equipment in a bag hanging off the ping pong table. There was a lovely pergola, along with barbecues, benches and a nature trail through a wooded area down to the shore. Wow! What a park!
We had thoughts of going to the Santa Barbara Zoo, and had parked the car, but I checked the weather and it called for rain. Not worth paying $25 per ticket for a rainy zoo trip, so we left, and it then started pouring!
We ended up making our way south, and had lunch at Padaro Beach Grill, a favorite stop near Carpinteria.
Then, we headed home. It was a great little getaway.
