Walking out onto the beach, I had this view, one of my all-time favorites
(I've been here before, though never by this route!).


 

A panorama from due west to due north.


 

I walked north along the beach, and near the upper limit is this stairway, called the Sand Ladder.
It didn't look like such a big deal.


 

Up close, it offered some challenges, but what was I here for, if a little climb was going to scare me off?

Onward!


 


 

The view as I climb rewards the effort.


 


 


 


 

At its top, the Sand Ladder meets Lincoln Blvd, the highway that skirts the cliffs.


 

I could have continued on Lincoln Blvd, but this new path beckoned me back downward.
