Sunset on the Beach


We began our second day with an early morning three mile walk on the beach.  We were amazed at all the ocean life we discovered, such as starfish, sand dollars, jelly fish and crabs.  We went through a dark tunnel to a rocky cove and looked for agates.  We drove up as far as Cannon Beach and enjoyed watching hundreds of pelicans and seagulls, with Haystack Rock in the background.  We then drove north to Haystack Rock and, since it was almost dusk, decided to stay for the sunset.  While waiting, we discovered tide pools at the base of Haystack Rock.
