Light fog hugs the shoreline near a far Northern California beach

The redwoods aren’t quite the whole story in this far northwest corner of California. There is this ocean… and a rather remarkable coast. There are other things, too — lots of bucolic farmland, quaint little towns and more. While the redwoods were my main “target” on this visit, I did stop to photograph a few other things, too.

On my way north I had come to this beach just before sunset, but since it had been a very long day and I wasn’t “seeing it” as I passed by, I just kept going. But, as I often do, I filed the location away in my memory as being one with some potential. On my third morning I started down the coast towards Fort Bragg, and after stopping briefly at some redwoods I came down the hill to this beach again, where I saw one of my favorite shoreline conditions, thin fog, partially thrown up by ocean spray and hugging the coast.
