During May of 2009 I flew to California, rented a car, and drove north. I made Carlsbad my headquarters and for the next two weeks explored the beaches up and down the coast from Oceanside Harbor back south to La Jolla. Here is some of what I saw. Don’t miss my other CA pages; see the links above. All images are available as photonotes or enlargements. All images are © Mary Isabel Steele 2009.  Buy Mary’s California Beaches photos
