Define gnarly:
In “Urban” terms it means radical, beyond, tubular, sweet, awesome, great, extreme – like that. Some folks think that California is all about living at the beach, riding a surf board, driving in convertibles and we all have blonde hair. Well, parts are like that – for some – but for the most part it is a diverse state. HOWEVER, my favorite place to be is at the coast. There are some totally wicked beaches, beyond gorgeous scenery and now and then you can catch some surfers patiently bobbing along the water just waiting for that totally hot tubular wave.
Basically, gnarly coolness is all around – you just have to pay attention and enjoy the surroundings….such as these old posts with corroded chains running between them along the pier…
Mild weather allows the dress attire to be that of shorts and sandals…
I got a hang paw on that one!

I so miss living in California!!! We also lived in northern CA and I kick myself that we didn't make the drive to the ocean more often back then! At least here in TX we still have awesome weather in winter...it was 78 degrees last weekend!

Thank you for sharing your sweet beach with us. If I were just strolling in, I might think you were speaking like a Maineah what with that "wicked" adjective. ;)
It looks like a fabulous place to live. Or even visit right now.
I agree! Totally awesome! Warm hugs from the other side of the country! ♥♥♥
Beautiful! Right now summer seems so far away, even though we only have a sprinkling of snow, so your photos bring summer thoughts to mind.
SO nice of you to share your lovley home! Maybe CA should get you to do their ads ;)
Hugs, Lisa
We are down in So Cal. This CA sure is beautiful

P.S. Can you come by and see my post on my hutch? I know you see a lot of antiques and thought you might know more....
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PLACE!
Beautiful photos...thanks for sharing. I remember fun times at the beach, day trips to San Francisco, shopping in the bay area....Oh I soooooo miss Cali. I've been in Idaho for 3 years and I still hate the cold, the negative degrees, everything frozen! I miss shorts and sandals and warm sunshine, being able to drive 5 minutes to any of your favorite shops. Here it's over an hour drive to get to a mall or decent restaurant. I dream of coming home to Cali :(
Beautiful state you live in Becky.
Gorgeous pictures, girl you are
good. It's raining and cold here,
bah humbug and you are at a beautiful beach...sigh...ENVY!!!
I love visiting the San Fran area. In fact we just got back from there. Enjoyed some hiking, a beach, etc.
Lovely post Becky! I hope our next trip to visit we have the opportunity to go over to the coast with ya'll.
Love you lots,
xoxo

I want to go to the Beach too!!!!!
Have a sweet day,
Elizabeth
I've only been to northern California once, but it was enough to make me agree that it is ... totally gnarly!! Would love to return someday, but for now I am content to enjoy your beautiful pictures.
Glad the wee Scottie found his way to you.
XO,
Kim
Nothing better than scotties on the beach! Great pics!
Oh my word. I wish I were there!
Really beautiful! I've been to the West Coast beaches just a handful of times over the years, but there truly is no other place on earth quite like it!

I have read your blog for so long, but have not left a comment. I am going through a difficult time in my life, and you always give me inspiration. The hardships that you have faced make me know that I will come out of my ordeal stronger. Thank you for sharing. Valarie
