Delton dips a paw into Tannery Creek.
The rest of us end up jumping across the narrow channel on the beach.
Some in the group time the waves to cross the fallen eucalyptus at its lowest point.
Seagull on fallen tree
Ron climbs over the slippery roots of the fallen eucalyptus.
Not much land between the water and the cliff.
John approaches the waterfall at the end of Escalona Creek.
Our group and others hug the cliff base near Escalona waterfall.

Finally an expanse of smooth wet sand

The muddy trail sits at the edge of the cliff.
Katie enjoys the view from atop the cliff.
One can see that the water is running up to the cliff base. We probably would have gotten wet feet if we had returned at the cliff base.
We walk on the edge of the trail away from the cliff edge.
The cliff is extremely crumbly.
We walk the last bit alongside the railroad tracks.
