Moon Rocks (Not from the Moon) Caves and Surfing

Moonstone beach is great place to walk around and enjoy the sea, roll up your pants and climb into a cave or apparently have a wedding.  There is a restaurant Moonstone Grill which can host special events and a wedding was taking place by the large rock cropping.  One down side was a lot of flies buzzing about the sand when we rested but could be the time of year, or perhaps that's why no one was just chilling out here.  

Walk to the right from the parking lot and the end of the cove has a cool cave with a fresh water shower you can play in.  A close inspection of the cliff rocks reveals what does look like the moon's surface with a variety of small rocks embedded in a sand stone like base.  The sand was super soft I had fun drawing things with my toes.  A bunch of surfers were out catching the waves, I liked watching them paddle out in that oh so gosh darn cold water.

Dog Friendly - Four paws for a dog friendly beach cove and my pooch did enjoy checking out the cave pond and trying to eat the flies.
