Oct 22nd and the Devil's Punch Bowl

The Devil's Punch Bowl is a huge round hole in the rocks with an opening out the front to the ocean. The day we were there it was low tide, so it wasn't as dramatic as it could be. The water swarms in and at high tide or large surges, actually pops up in the air. The last time we were here about 30 yrs ago, the opening wasn't this large.

You have to use your imagination for this one, but looking out to the ocean from punch bowl in line with those rocks about 1/3 of the way in from the left, is a small water spout. We spotted a whale spouting. If the picture was larger, it is easier to spot. We watched it several times as it worked its way south.
This is a view to the south looking down on Beverly Beach.
Just love the sound and sight of the surf crashing against the rocks.
