| Purple sand paradise |
During our first family camping trip a couple weeks ago, we had the pleasure of spending the day at gorgeous Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur, California. This is one of the most beautiful Northern California beaches we've visited. It is a bit of a hidden paradise, off scenic Highway 1. I think much of the draw of this beach, is the fact it has purple sand (due to manganese garnet deposits in the rocks); a very unique find. We had to do a bit of exploration to find the areas with purple sand, it is not everywhere, but still certainly noticeable in particular locations.
The girls had such a great time exploring and playing with their cousins! Elise and her cousin Tyler have so much fun together. They really are the best of friends, and she loves spending time with him. Alina wasn't so sure what to think of all the wind and sand, so she didn't venture much further than her beach towel. This is her third trip to the beach; she is becoming quite the little traveler. All-in-all it was a very fun day at beautiful Pfeiffer Beach.
