Our first stop was Gray Whale Cove State Beach. It's a bit far, norther from Half Moon Bay, but really nice and protected from the wind. I should really stop going to the ocean wearing a tank top. It's more like a turtle neck with a hoodie on top... And a hat.... Down at the water it was very nice. There's some porta potty on the top, if someone would like to know. This is the view from Hwy 1:
When we were leaving I threw a last glance at the water and I saw two probably baby gray whales right on the beach. Approximately in the middle where the water is white on the picture above. I was so excited! The beach lived up to its name! I bet you must be lucky to spot such a thing. And it was our first time!
Our next stop was J V Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. We had luck again. Just a couple of minutes before we arrived a herd of seals came to shore playing, resting and nursing the babies:
There were some beautiful flowers blooming at the entrance of the beach:
On the way down to our last stop to Half Moon Bay State Beach, we passed by the airport. It turns out that a classic car and airplane show was on this weekend, the Dream Machines. If only I knew... But our day was perfect anyways.
We took a walk on the beach, but both of us started to be hungry, so after taking some pictures we continued down to Santa Cruz, where we had our shrimp, prawn, fish, seafood fried dinner.
