Took a drive down to Silver Strand, and then Imperial Beach after work today... had a little dip in the kelp-infested surf and a nice nap on the sand. Walked out onto the pier at Imperial Beach, dodging the flying hooks of shoulder-to-shoulder anglers along the rails ("No Overhead Casting Allowed"; yeah right).
Took some bad-to-mediocre pictures, and here they are.

No, it's Imperial...the apartment is right up Palm Ave, so I just drove straight out from there.

Y'know, I've found that the irony of nude beaches is that they're usually frequented by people you don't want to see naked... Shocked

Wrong or right, it's nice to see the sun set over the ocean. Grin

It's a work trip, unfortunately... Airventure was my "vacay" for this year. I'm helping install the A/V for this place, which is opening in just over a month:
