Ecola State Park

Saturday, now two weeks ago, turned out nicer than we had expected and we spent the day exploring. We began in Seaside with a long walk into town and back, but then got in the car and worked our way down through Cannon Beach as far as Hug Point.

Indian Beach is at the end of a winding landslide-prone road in Ecola State Park, on the south side of Tillamook Head. It seemed crowded, though probably not what it would have been on a warm summer weekend. A few folks were learning to surf and a lot of folks were just milling around in their fleece. M waited patiently while I wandered off the to far end of the beach to check out the landslides and the basalt cliffs and other beach stuff.
