Weather to bring on the beachcombing event...

Yesterdays weather of strong winds should have scoured our beaches to bring on some excellent beachcombing. We are all looking forward to those great gravel bars we get her in the Newport area for those agates glistening among the gravel. We have photos that need to be downloaded to show you some of the trophies our guest have come up with. Will try and get them up shortly.
