New Hampshire Seacoast

Last weekend, my husband, son and I hooked up with a couple of dear friends and went to Petey's (my favorite seafood restaurant located in Rye New Hampshire) . After dinner we drove south along the coast on Rt 1 A. We veered off the beaten path for a bit to check out a couple of old churches. Later we stopped at Hampton Harbor to enjoy the sunset .

Salisbury Beach State Reservation

One of our favorite beaches is Salisbury Beach in Massachusetts. The campground here is pretty nice. It's what I call "parking lot" camping, which I'm not very fond of, but it is nice to wake up and walk down to the beach area before the crowds come. I particularly love to visit pre or post season. We camped there this time last year and even though it was a bit windy and cold it was beautiful and quite. We even got to see the harbor seals out on Badger Rock. To bad I don't have a zoom lens. Here are a few shot's I got that weekend.

Badger Rock Beach at Sunset

Sunrise, Sunset

Living on the east coast I have the privilege of enjoying the beautiful sunrises at the beach (if I can get out of bed early enough :-) When we went to Californian a couple of weeks ago, I had the wonderful opportunity to watch the sunset at the beach.

Crystal Cove California

I just got back from vacation and I wanted to share with you the place I enjoyed the most while I was there. These are photo's taken at the beach in Crystal Cove State Park which sits between Newport Beach and Laguna Beach. It was the only stretch of undeveloped / non commercialized beach I saw while I was there. The Historic District was particularly quaint with a visitors center, a gift shop and the Beachcomber Cafe (which was pricey but very good). It was like stepping back in time when we got off the shuttle bus that took us from the Los Trancos parking area down to the Crystal Cove Historic District. If you are going to be in the area , I would highly recommend spending some time here.
