5 Steps to the Ocean

Took a quick walk down to the beach this evening to capture some of the gloomy clouds rolling into town. There is actually no beach left, the ocean comes all the way up to the rocks on South Strand in Oceanside, CA. During the winter in Oceanside the beach is stripped away by the ocean and there is literally nothing left by the end of the season. Right before the beginning of summer Oceanside will dredge in a ton of sand from the Oceanside Harbor or right off the coast. Loads of sand are deposited onto the beach where some guy in a huge bulldozer evens it all out. If you haven't seen this done it is quite impressive to watch.
