Summer Waves



Taking a little tour around the Monterey Bay ... first photo is a beautiful drive in the quaint town of Pacific Grove, second photo is the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and the third is of a small beach at Capitola by the Sea. The fog is here most mornings and then burns off before noon. Sunny most days but the wind can sometimes pick up in the afternoon and late in the day the fog might or might not roll back in but I can just about promise no rain in the summer. So grab your towel and sunblock!

  2. Great photos! Back in the late 80s I lived in an attic apt. in an old Victorian on Beach Hill. My picture window overlooked the beach and bay with a view over to Monterey.

    1. Yes, it is beautiful and has felt like home from the time I moved here. I'm especially enjoying the 'locals' price reductions and later in the fall the 'locals' specials. I think the fun is that people come here to have fun so the mood is generally good.

    1. We had some pretty perfect days and took advantage of them with outdoor eating, harbor sitting and now its cool and wet. Nothing extreme but I know the tourists have warmer expectations ... I say, put on your sweatshirts and enjoy!
