By midday the coastline was littered with tents and umbrellas. If you were hoping for any kind of privacy, you were out of luck. After dining at Kono's, I took my video camera and wandered the oceanside bike path hoping to get some interesting shots. I started in Pacific Beach and later decided to take the bus south to Mission Beach and walk back. I had been wanting to photograph a number of the beachside vacation rental properties and this seemed my last good opportunity to do so.

Anyway, the beach was swarming with people, most of whom seemed content with drinking and talking. Of course, there were still a handful of others who wanted to get in the water, or grill some burgers, or play beach games.
