California’s Rugged Beauty

Most think of California’s Beaches as anything but rugged beauty! 

Take a walk down the pier at Santa Monica, stroll the gorgeous beaches of Santa Barbara…

Hang at Balboa Island, Newport Beach or spend the day watching the toned bodies of the surfers at Huntington Beach & ‘rugged’ beauty is not a term that generally comes to mind!

However, for those who have driven the majestic Pacific Coast Highway of California, you know what I mean when I say…there is MUCH rugged beauty… & so many magical places to discover. 

Really taking the time to get up close and personal with some of the natural beauty will be extremely rewarding for anyone lucky enough to take this journey. Flora and fauna scattered throughout the rocks and crevices of the shoreline are quite something to behold.

 Beauty is everywhere along this magnificent California Coast.  Just waiting to be discovered & appreciated by those who take the time to stop and “smell the roses” along the journey of their lives.

I would suggest taking a partner along for this excursion!!  Trust me, it was not easy to do this trip solo!

 This is a great trip for a meaningful, introspective experience.  However, trying to navigate the winding roads,  take in all the rugged beauty of the drive & snap the odd photo along the way can be downright near impossible!!!
