As we were getting packed up, we watched the surfers ride some of the longest waves on the coast and kayakers heading out over the surf. The haystack rock here is 235 feet high. We took a quick detour to the Riverhouse restaurant to buy some of their supposedly excellent blue cheese dressing, then continued our drive south along the Pacific Coast …
Another day along the pacific coast
