I've seen too many out of state tourists let their children play on the beach, run in and out of the waves, and think nothing of it. Sunny day, lots of people walking up and down. But are there surfers? No. Are the waves fast and crashing hard? Yes. Are the waves forming triangles and V over themselves? Yes. The water is cold. Please. Respect your own life and stay away. If it's a rocky coastline don't go off the trail. The Pacific ALL along California's coast is not to be underestimated. Yes, even in Southern CA. Admire the beauty. Respect nature. Keep yourself and your family safe. She will take you and you are not a strong enough swimmer. https://fb.watch/DApx2E2vmX/
#california coast#monastery beach#monterey#and for the love don't play with the creatures in the tide pools#I watched as a family of 4 from MI pick up and throw kelp at each other#walk through the pools crushing the life in it#as I was about to walk up and point out the signs#a volunteer came#it's a protected marine reserve#not your personal aquarium
