Two Rocks, Neskowin Beach Looking North

Neskowin Oregon

And now for a wider view. The close-ups of the riprap were taken 180 degrees around from here. To the south the ocean is up to the riprap and didn't retreat from it even at low tide. It's not possible to walk more than about 100 yards south from this point and stay on the beach (there is no beach) without getting really wet. Really wet and probably risk getting thrown against the rocks.

More rocks for you to fantasize about. Help them develop their own personalities and inner lives.

There used to be a dune here and a broad expanse of sandy beach at low tide. Now there is riprap to protect the houses then there's the ocean. Even at low tide where we used to build sand castles there is now ocean breaking on the rocks. As you may have guessed for the next several days there will be pictures of rocks, sand, a little sky and some water. Not much to work with just all that nature stuff. Not that I've got anything against nature, and I did have a great time with the rocks, it's just so... subtle. I even had to de-saturate.
