Seal Rock With Anne and Matt

 I enjoyed a fun camping trip at Seal Rock with my daughter Anne and son-in-law Matt. These are harbor seals on the rock at Seal Rock Beach.
 Matt, Anne, and Tillie
 Seal Rock has some great tide pools!

 We traveled down the coast to a viewpoint called "Strawberry Hill." It is a good place to see seals and their newborn pups.


 Interesting rock formations

 Star fish were present in abundance!






 Back at Seal Rock the fog moved in




 We spent another day at Yahats.



 This is one of our favorite art galleries just north of Yahats.


 We enjoyed visiting the Mark Hatfield Marine Science Center.







 Back at Seal Rock we did a little hiking on the beach trails.
