Archives for category: Coastal Favorites
Over the past 20 years or so, I have taken some photos in several WA counties and a few in Oregon. I put together a new category with a coastal favorites theme.
The collection is here.

Washington Coast – The North Beach
The folks who did the 4th of July cleanup in the Ocean Shores area did excellent work. We have been out there a couple of times in the past week and the beach has been spotless. Well done.

LILA info towards the bottom of this page.
“…purchase your fresh seafood directly from Westport fishing boats!
Call for availability or head down to the docks and markets to purchase.”
Beachcombing may be an effort to find items to collect and bring home. Some people may be out to do a minor or major beach cleanup project. Some may be out to get a few photos or to take a look at how people are living their lives near the water.
Shallow water beachcombing is also an activity I enjoy. There can be a lot to see in the part of the beach that is not on dry land.
There is a lonely stretch of beach between Perego’s Lagoon and Fort Ebey. Less people can mean better beachcombing.
Hatch cover from a yacht. I found this item in the Port Townsend area.
This works well as an elevated table top when placed on sawhorses during a backyard bbq. Also great when set up like an outdoor coffee table.
This item was crying out for a little TLC when I found it.
Out back by the fire pit.

A good spot to add to your collection.
Sometimes the outing is just a chance to take a look around.
Maybe a chance to see something from a time gone by.
Maybe a chance to work on a project.
A chance to see how people are living their lives near the water.

WA State Parks tell us not to collect driftwood for a campfire.
Sometimes firewood becomes driftwood.
We’ll save our picnic for another day.
