Beach Adventure

Cliffside Stairway

Stairs Overlooking the Beach and Golf Course

Great View From The Top

Today we rode our bicycles to the small village of Colimilla, located on the lagoon just south of the marina; it was uphill most of the way, ugh. Our curiosity got the best of us, however, and we decided to bike down the other side of the hill to see what might lie ahead. We discovered a tree-lined boulevard and signage pointing to the golf course and beach club. “What the heck, it’s flat, let’s keep going,” Leonard said. We finally got to the end of the road where we left our bicycles and walked out to a large crescent-shaped beach fronting the golf course. I saw a set of stairs leading upward into the cliffs skirting the steep rock face; perhaps the trail goes to another beach, I thought. We started hiking the trail and sure enough we came upon a little secluded beach. Huge waves crashed over the rocks and between the sea stacks, not a safe place to swim but definitely a place to get your feet wet. The tall waves rolled into shore with exceptional speed. At the far end of the beach we found a blow-hole through which we could see the ocean and sky. Seconds later a huge surge of water came rushing through, filling the empty space and disgorging its contents on the sandy beach – anyone foolish enough to walk inside this small cave/blow-hole would surely be crushed! After our beach-side adventure we bicycled back to the village of Colimilla and stopped for a pitcher of lemonade – we definitely had worked up a thirst!
