Summary:

This day, December 23, was the highest tide for this month. We also went on December 21, but the high tide was

not even close to the 23rd. We found 4 painted rocks near Kissing Rock. Amazing to watch how high the waves

and water came up the shore. See photos. The time was 11:23 am.

Looking north from Kissing Rock parking area.
