San Elijo State Beach

This image was taken at Swamis beach just north of San Elijo campgrounds. The tide was very low so it made for a perfect walk on the beach afternoon.

This is at the bottom of the ramp at Pipes surf beach. There is a little shortcut path to get down to the water other than walking all the way down the ramp.

Overlooking the famous surfing break Swamis. Also the Self Realization Fellowship.

There are many things in life that are just not worth the effort. However when you have days like this one in Southern California makes everything effortless. But when taking this image I wasn't even interested in taking a picture because it was cold and windy. When I saw this surfer run out into the weather conditions I found the image I was looking for!
