Ocean Shores, Washington

We spent a week in August @ Ocean Shores.
I thought by August we'd be certain of hot temps, so the idea of the ocean seemed appealing.
Sadly, the weather did not meet our expectations, but we did make the best of it.

The beach was a few minutes walk through grassy dunes, although we could see the ocean from our suite.

The skies tended toward cloudy, and even when they were blue, the constant wind was chilly.

We had some lovely sunsets over the water.

While we walked along the beach the first day, we encountered several groups of horseback riders, so we investigated. As you can see, we have one more thing crossed off our bucketlist.

It was a very relaxing vacation, but all things considered, we won't be going back there again.
