South Jetty Dunes

We visited this park while camping at South Jetty RV park.  The dunes can be reached about 2 miles from our park, but we drove all the way to the end, maybe 8 miles.  This is a fee area for day use and camping, however we gained entry with our America the Beautiful pass.  We parked in the last parking lot in the park and hiked about 300 yards through the dunes which were covered with plants and trees before you get a glimpse of the ocean.  We had the beach to ourselves with the exception of maybe 4 people off in the distance.  Leashed Dogs are allowed on the beach and Buddy's nose was working overtime on the beach trying to snag some tasty morsels of crab or whatever will fit in his mouth.  I did not allow him in the water as we did not have enough water to bath him afterwords from the salt water.  Aggie was collecting shells and stones on the beach and I was enjoying a walk along the coastal sand.
