One day while we were staying in Caspar Beach we took a drive up the coast about 30 miles.  We’d already been on that coastline when we came into town, but it was so foggy we couldn’t see anything.

On Wednesday the day was extremely clear, very few high clouds and no marine layer!  So we jumped in the car and drove up to where Hwy 1 turns inland, and then returned along the coastline to see the shore and all the rocks in the water. 

It’s amazing about those rocks!  As I said in a previous blog entry while we were in Oregon, the rocky coastline is a result of the two tectonic plates along the coast ramming into each other, one side gets pushed down and one side gets pushed up.

The coastline is very rocky and in some places there’s a gradual slope down to the cliffs.  We saw several farms and ranches along the shore.  And, some houses perched right on the cliff.  I got a good picture of one of them just above a beach with very large rocks scattered around.

Here are the pictures we took on our coastline drive:
