Pacific Beach is a small state park on the coast northwest of Aberdeen. On this sunny day, it was popular with RVers and people out for a walk on the beach.

A sandy footpath winds through tall, golden-brown dune grass toward the ocean visible on the horizon, under a bright blue sky with wispy clouds. A dark green shrub and a small trail marker post stand among the grass on the right.
Golden dune grass fills the foreground under a clear blue sky, with an RV parked in a beachside campground and a coastal town of houses tucked beneath a forested headland in the distance at Pacific Beach State Park, Washington.
A weathered dark driftwood log embedded in golden dune grass along the edge of a broad sandy beach, with wet flats, ocean waves in the distance, and a clear bright blue sky overhead.
A large weathered driftwood log with a charred, blackened end rests on wet dark sand at the edge of a shallow tidal channel, with an eroded grassy bank, trees, and a few houses in the distance under a deep blue sky.

I’m not the best at animal tracking, but if I read these right, there was a mighty fun game of fetch happening just a bit ago.

A wide, flat sandy beach at low tide under a bright blue sky, with patches of disturbed, darker sand and animal tracks in the foreground and the ocean surf line along the distant horizon.
A wide expanse of dark, rippled wet sand at low tide with a large piece of weathered driftwood partly submerged in a shallow reflecting pool. Behind it, an eroded dune bank topped with tan grass rises to a line of evergreen trees and a house under a clear blue sky, with a faint daytime moon visible near the top.
A large weathered driftwood log with deeply grooved, sun-bleached wood grain lies half-submerged in shallow water on a rippled sandy beach, with dry grasses lining an eroded bank in the background under bright daylight.
A weathered driftwood branch lies half-buried in wet, rippled sand on a wide, empty beach, with the ocean and breaking waves along the horizon under a bright blue sky.
A row of weathered wooden pilings, remnants of an old pier, recedes into the distance across a low-tide beach, with the tallest post in the foreground bearing a rusted metal plate. The scene is split between rippling water on the left and smooth wet sand on the right, under a deep blue sky with wispy clouds near the horizon.
A row of weathered old wooden pilings from a collapsed pier stretches diagonally toward the horizon across a tidal flat at Pacific Beach, with wet sand and a line of debris on the right and calm shallow water reflecting the blue sky on the left.
A wide, flat sandy beach under a bright blue sky, where a cyclist rides along the shoreline followed by a small dog, with white breaking waves rolling in behind them. In the foreground are wet tidal flats and a pebbly, gravel-strewn shore.
A rounded reddish-brown piece of kelp holdfast with a long trailing stipe lying on gray beach sand, casting a dark shadow, with a small bit of bright green seaweed beside it.
A large weathered driftwood log, gnarled and full of holes, rests in a dune covered with tall golden beach grass under a clear deep-blue sky, with a faint daytime moon visible in the upper right.
