Well, almost never too cold for the beach. There has been a frigid Alaskan storm front in San Diego for the past three days with sleet, hail and cold northerly winds. However, the sun peaked out for a few hours today and a few brave hardy souls, myself included, headed out to the beach get a little sun. For an hour or two, until the evening wind started to really chill things down, it was absolutely wonderful. It was a low tide and the sand was sparkling with tiny exposed clams glittering in bright yellows, orange-browns, steely greys and pearly whites. The gulls were out feasting on sealife washed up by the tide and long strands of deep red-brown kelp glistened in the sun. I even managed to find a few stray sand dollars and an orange-specked scallop that had not been stepped on by the people enjoying the albeit short-lived sunshine. Overall, I'm tempted to say that the lack of the fair weather crowds made for a very relaxing, quiet day at the beach.
