irish beach

Non-tropical beaches are vastly underrated.

Granted, when you hear "California beach" and pack all sorts of summery things to wear, it might be a bit of an surprise when you arrive at your destination and discover that your one pair of jeggings (and that jacket you tossed in at the last minute!) is going to pretty much be a necessity all week.

The view makes all of that irrelevant.

Irish Beach is sort of out there in the middle of Northern California. It was a two-day drive from Washington, but the ride there was incredibly pleasant. We had good company! I'll happily talk about that a bit more later, but for now I was just excited to share some of the pictures from the place that reminds me of Briny Beach (any Lemony Snicket fans happen to be passing by?)

I never saw so many weather patterns represented in one spot in so short a time. We took walks around this place on the daily and every single time there was something new to marvel at. It was truly very beautiful.
