Ocean Shores/Pacific Ocean

We took a day trip to the Pacific Ocean.....drove  the Pacific Coast Scenic Hwy.  Such a beautiful drive!

We thought the sand was blowing like it does in the Gulf (Corpus Christi) but it was steam.

It was pretty cool for us, probably in the upper 60's.   Washingtonians do not seem to be bothered, they are in the cold, cold waters!!!

These guys made some good money today.   They had a bunch of horses!  Good way to make money....go to the beach with your horses and sit back as people ride....

We drove around Ocean Shores and Ocean City.....they are both small towns with beautiful beaches.
