Day 5 Pescadero RV Park, Pescadero BCS, Mexico

We packed a cooler and headed to the beach. Tim had seen a promising road to the shore as we passed the other day.

The road had washed during the last storm but that was no problem for our Jeep!

When we arrived, there was a camper van parked at the closer end. We moved further down the beach. The van left soon after and we had a one half mile stretch of beautiful beach to ourselves…we found a jewel!!

The grey whales were swimming so close that we could occasionally hear their spray!! I took these pictures from my beach chair and without zoom…the whales were right there!!

The humpbacks seem to swim further out but we watched them breaching. The breach…

…and the splash!!!

And the fluke as he goes down for a dive!

We also saw a sea lion swimming in toward the rocks and lots of skates skipping across the waves and smacking into the water!

Some other sightings…

There was this really cool circle of rock with an opening to the ocean.

A walk to the other end of “our” beach.

When we go to the beach I always pack a book and I usually read. Today I spent those four hours on the beach fully present…watching, walking, and enjoying the day.

When we left, we drove through the town of Pescadero. We found “Carnitas Machin,” an outdoor restaurant. We stopped and bought carnitas for our dinner.

Our campsite.

The sunset at the campground this evening, a perfect ending to a perfect day.
