Wednesday after sleeping in and enjoying a leisurely breakfast, we headed out to explore the Newport Bay Area. First stop: Yaqunia Head Lighthouse.
We visited the visitors center, I bought a pin for my hat, then we checked out the lighthouse. 
It was a pretty windy day. They had whale watching volunteers posted to help us spot whales, but no luck. The guides explained that the wind was making it hard to see the heart shaped spouts, and too much white caps. The whales where hidden under the swells. None were spotted. 
We got in line to tour the lighthouse, but decided we didn't want to wait so headed down to the tide pools.
Looking down at the tide pools
Down the stairs and walking the cobble stones. 
And there were A LOT of cobblestone!!!! Pretty wobbly to walk on.
Pretty landscape.

And finds a scenic spot.
The tide pools were full of things to see: Sea Anemone
Starfish
And countless mussels.
