We discovered the punchbowl on our run and decided to hike down the beach and up the steps to the top to look down into the bowl. It was a minus tide and we were amazed to see how much of the punchbowl was exposed.
101 steps is all it took to get from the beach to the road and viewpoint for Devil's Punchbowl.
The tide continues to go out...the locals told us the water gets pretty high up in the bowl during high tides.
View from the road on top.....it is rare to see this much beach. We decided to see if we could find a path that would take us down into the tide pools.
And we found it! It actually was a pretty easy hike down and we were rewarded with amazing sea life.
The view into the punchbowl.....
Purple and orange starfish littered the beach along with the clams and shellfish clinging to the rocks.
The water lines tell the stories of high tides.
The view out to the ocean....this is where the water comes in during the tide changes...
Another opening...this is the one we walked through.
It was a great hike and we loved the time we spent in here. It made our day!
