Day 7, Pacific City beach

Out of order pic of Collin helping Adeline build something. 

I met a woman at our airbnb at Seaside, that told me Pacific City beach is BY FAR the best beach to tide pool at.....so even though it wasn't originally in our plans, we decided to stop. Due to some other circumstances, we didn't get there quite as early for low tide as we had planned, so some of the tide had already started coming back in. But look at that sun! This was the first beach that felt "like a beach" in all of Oregon ha ha. 

We thought about putting on our swimsuits, but then realized that would take a lot more time and the water was still absolutely freezing without a wet suit. 

Walking over to the rocky area on the far side to check out the tide pools.

I'm not sure how many pictures you can take at a beach, but I kept taking them ha ha. 

Walking over to the far side, they had this very cool little nook in the rocks that some of the kids explored. 

The tide was definitely starting to come in when they came out. 

What a pretty picture!

Jumping in the waves. 

Cute token kid picture. 

More and more exploring. 

Adeline found this huge piece of seaweed that she loved getting covered in sand and then taking out to the ocean. 

The seaweed "creature". 

We didn't explore the sand dune at the beach but it was MASSIVE!

Ahh....the beaches were so great along the coast.
