If there's one thing I can't help but love, it's a good day at the beach. We live very close to the beach, but it's one of those things you still have to make an effort to enjoy. We're looking forward to the day we can walk out our back door and hop in the sand, but for now we settle for packing up some beers and snacks and driving down.
We went to Santa Clara, near where Brent's dad lives. The beach there is gorgeous -- and popular. It was a weekday afternoon and there were quite a few people there, but we were still able to secure a little hut for our usage: two hammocks, a table and chairs, and the all-important shade.
We had heard these would cost about $5, but we were charged $10 when the guy came over about an hour or so after we had settled in. We speak Spanish, but couldn't gather why we were charged extra. Maybe our original information was incorrect, or maybe it has to do with the time of day or year.
At any rate, $10 was still worth it for the shade and the simple joy of reading a book in a hammock and glancing up to see the blue Pacific.
Plus, there are bathrooms there.
