This was my first "intentional" walk on this part of the beach paying close attention to what my mile looked and felt like. I saw about 50 semipalmated sandpipers playing together at the break line. There were many piles of seaweed, a few large jellyfish and lots of slippery jelly fish pieces.

Manzanita's beach was about as devoid of people as it ever gets.

A mild and pleasant day on Manzanita’s expansive beach. Photo 1: Runners are backlit by hazy sunshine that accents the shimmering highlights of the wet sand and low waves. Photo 2: This lion’s mane jelly measured 7” across and washed up on the beach without its tentacles but otherwise intact. Photo 3: A tiny uncarved pumpkin at water’s edge brings recent Halloween decorations to mind.

I had the beach practically to myself on this mild day in April with the exception of a family building an elaborate teepee from driftwood.
