Beach day today. We rented beach umbrellas which allowed us to enjoy several hours without burning to a crisp. $4 per chair – pretty good deal, I think. More whale watching.

There are so many public beaches in the area, and they are just as beautiful as those at the resorts and hotels. There is also plenty of free parking near them so the locals can enjoy ready access to the ocean.

Mark and Jeff went boogie boarding, and lived to tell the tale. Some folks were paddle boarding, and some were paddling their boards to catch waves for surfing. The waves were pretty high, and the lifeguard did issue a warning after one person got hurt when crashing into a rock.

Dinner at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse tonight and back to the condo to pack. Boo hoo!
