The California beaches are home for me. I’ve been to many beaches but the ones back home hit different. I grew up near some amazing places and went there often as a kid: Morro Bay, Los Osos, Pismo Beach, etc. Whenever I’m back visiting family, I try to get to some of my favorite spots.

On this last trip back in October/November, I got to visit numerous ones. I hadn’t been to San Diego in around 4 years, so it was fun to see some of those places again.

It had been a while since I’ve passed through or stayed in San Clemente. Though this stop was pretty short, I could see my cousin, see my favorite pier and capture a few photos.

I think that last time I walked along Huntington Beach pier was when Ruby’s Diner was at the end. This new place has some pretty cool colors though, loved the vibe.
