A timeless question is whether a spectacular sunrise on a beautiful beach or a spectacular sunset on a beautiful beach is better.
The answer is both. Both are better.
The weather on the first weekend in October was warm, cloudless, and with the light breeze, sublime. Our hotel, the Sea Latch Inn, was just a few steps from the sand. In fact, we had a fantastic view of the ocean from our 2nd-floor room. I recommend the place!
As the sun set, the sky and sand filled with pastel colors, and the moon rose over the ocean. We held hands, walked on the sand, and listened to the waves softly lapping at the beach.
At dawn, the sun rose over the water, and we walked again, sharing the sand with shorebirds, tiny crabs hiding among the rocks, a man practicing Tai Chi, and a broad, flat beach that invited an early morning walk before coffee on our hotel room balcony. It was idyllic, and we will be back.
