Peninsula Beaches (September 26-27, 2009)




We spent the weekend exploring the beaches of the peninsula. The Kenai Beach, near the Cook Inlet, is a very sandy beach full of many shorebirds and raptors. The Nikiski Beach in the Captain Cook State Rec Area is quite the opposite, full of rocks both large and small. From the beach you can see many oil rigs. We also discovered some small, pink clam shells washed up on shore that look very much like tiny lungs.
