Moonstone Beach

8 Güleş Kerim

The beach was quite intriguing with its unique feature of being covered in small pebbles and dark sand. My main purpose of visiting was to collect moonstones, but unfortunately, I didn't come across many, and the ones I did find were quite small. Nevertheless, the drive down to the beach was pleasant, and the overall ambiance of the place was serene and beautiful. It was a shame that I missed the seals sunbathing, as they usually do so in the morning, and I arrived in the afternoon.

Arroyo Laguna Beach

10 Kai Tanaka

The breathtaking scenery of the beach is truly remarkable, with a pleasant climate and immaculate sandy shores. As we strolled along the coastline, we were pleasantly surprised to witness a group of Elephant seals emerging from the ocean and lounging on the beach right before our eyes. It was truly a remarkable experience to behold. This location is truly exceptional.
