The week of epic tides continued -1.2 tide on Thursday June 18, so I coordinated with my husband Ted to walk before work. We started at the end of Coronado Dr (if I did it again I would set out from Santa Barbara Shores Dr) around 7AM. After half a mile on Ellwood Bluff, we found the path down to the beach. I didn't locate the Wind Phone since we were on a schedule.

We turned to the west and headed up the beach towards Haskells near Bacara. Even at high tide, this may have been accessible, but it was easy on this day with such a low tide. There were many rocks but not a lot of tar or seaweed. We did notice many sections of fencing to protect the cliffs (and maybe pipeline) from storm surge. We did walk beyond Haskell's to scout out the next section for the next really low tide!

Thanks to Ted for making time to walk this section with me! It was 1.5 miles of unique beach--19Km (12miles) down!
