      Hi Sandra! It was fun to see a few birds enjoying the ‘quiet side’ of the spit! I would love to come back in the spring and hopefully see more of the birds on the list. Thanks! 🌊💙🐦

    Hello Jennifer & Steve
    Beautiful hike up to this quiet beach …so serine ! Sure must be careful to hike along the shore not to get caught by the tide . The log sure was getting a hard time rolling into the waves. Was that a seal 🦭 we saw ? The deer at the end was so nice 🤩 in the greenery
    Nice and relaxing video 😉👍
    Have a great week

    I always find it nice and interesting to return to a place where you've been before. What has changed. I still like it there. Or not at all.
    However, the place is so beautiful that you can always come back.
    The beginning of the hike is a really beautiful forest path. Only when you hear the sound of the sea do you recognize the proximity of the water. The first view of the coast from above is beautiful.
    The large amount of wood makes the headland very interesting. Here you can watch wonderful birds.

    As someone who has hiked out to the Lighthouse and back three times, I always tell folks that it's 5.5 miles out and 25 miles back....at least that is how it seems when you've hiked out, climbed the lighthouse for a tour, and hiked back. That last hill up to the parking lot can be a killer. It is certainly beautiful and peaceful, but you MUST watch out for the tides, logs/driftwood, and the changing weather. Enjoyed your tour....that mammal out in the water was probably a harbor seal -- there are some big ones that hang out there.

    • @JenniferLupine
      @JenniferLupine  2 года назад +1

      Wow! Amazing that you made it out and back 3 times!! What month did you go? Seems like it would have to be summer since you have more light and hopefully extra low tides. I wouldn’t want to be forced up into the driftwood… and you’ve got to be off the beach 1/2 hour before sunset. Wow- I can imagine how tiring that last bit is climbing up! I sure would like to try it, but I’d also like to go out a ways and enjoy the birds and wildlife. Thanks!

      Hi friends, thank you! We love having driftwood on our beaches! So many trees wash down the rivers then end up on the beaches- it’s left there as part of the natural ecosystem and people aren’t allowed to collect it on the public lands. O yes, we love the birds and wildlife. I’m happy you found it calming. 👌 I really appreciate your visit and thoughtful comments. Have a great upcoming week! 😄 Cheers- Jen

      Hi and thanks! It really is a nice combination of woods and open coast hiking. I’m always impressed how the forest goes right up to the water’s edge around here. Yes, it gets dark these days about 5:00p and in the summertime it gets dark about 9:30p… someday I’ll try to hike all the way out on a long summer day! 😁🌊🌊🐦🐦💙

    Nice trail. Beautiful country. I love the sound of the ocean. Also noticed the sign which listed the birds in the area, amazing the number of different species. I’m lucky to see 10 varieties in my community. I love all the driftwood. Our world is so amazing and we take it for granted most days. Nothing as calming as a walk in the woods or by the seashore. Thanks for sharing the video.

    Hi Jennifer! Looks like a wonderful place to watch the waders! I wouldn't like to get caught out there if the weather turned bad, though! 😁 We also have an RSPB nature reserve in Kent called Dungeness. Never had a chance to visit, but it is a well know spot for birders. All the best and catch you soon👍😊

    • @JenniferLupine
      @JenniferLupine  2 года назад +1

      Hi and thanks Des! I’m sure this location is named after the one near you! The name has also been given to the local river that empties into the water just behind the spit. It’s also interesting that we have a city in the area, near Seattle, that’s named Kent! Lots of our place names came from the early explorers, others come from the local native peoples. 👌 I’m going to look up your Dungeness and add a link in the description. Thanks! 😄🐦🐦🐧

      Hi Color! Thank you! It’s a really special place, glad you enjoyed it! I’m always amazed at how the forest grows all the way up to the beach… yes, when you walk along and finally reach the beach, it’s amazing! In the summertime it stays light until about 9:30p, so that would be a great time to try to walk all the way out to the lighthouse… the beach closes just before sunset, which is about 5:00p now, so there’s not enough tie to get all the way out and back. Thanks, and have a great week! 🌊🌊🐦🐦

      Hi Max!

We went to the beach in CA when I was younger, but as kids we didn’t have tide charts, we just knew the ocean was going to come up and knock down our sand castles - lol!!
