Shamu, Moby Dick, and One Eyed Willy

There is a reason private beaches are superior to public beaches. Other than obvious, less hordes of crazies, I found a new reason to appreciate private beaches this weekend. Wildlife. Now I know that this was probably a fluke, never to happen again, but it was amazing. Whale watching from the sand of a gorgeous beach like 3 arch bay. We also saw One Eyed Willy's pirate ship, but truly the sea life was the highlight of everyones day.

Whales, dolphins, sun, sand. Could anyone ask for more?

Don't mind us, we have pale skin. We are working on that.

Drip castles. Priceless.

We guessed there was a mother and baby whale chilling just a few hundred yards from the sand. The dolphins showed up a little later. Guess there was something yummy in the water.

My Dad was at the beach with us, but of course I failed to snap any pics. He probably prefers it that way anyway. But we did have a splendid time with him.
