Sand Dollar Beach – Day 1 – 33

******************************
Forty years after I first stumbled onto Sand Dollar Beach, during wandering drive through the Big Sur region in the summer of 1969, I decided to come back and see if things were still the same…
I’m glad to report that there are no fast-food outlets up in the parking area, or down on the beach: KFC, McDonalds, and Burger King haven’t discovered the place yet. But it’s now a state park with a /day parking fee, a collection of non-functioning outhouses, and a graded walkway to an observation area looking out over the expanse of the mile-long beach.
Down on the beach itself, the rock formations remain the same as they were 40 years ago … and 40 thousand years ago … and probably 40 million years ago. The beach was deserted when I arrived half an hour before dawn, and it was deserted when I left half an hour after sunset. This is good; this is how it should be …
But during the main part of the day — from roughly 10 AM until 6 PM — it’s a lot more crowded than it used to be. I didn’t do a precise count, but I’d estimate there were 50-100 people stretched along the beach, with various groups arriving and leaving throughout the day. Most were surfers, some were fishermen, some were families out for a picnic in the sunshine. I saw a couple of photographers like me, and I met a retired couple from Skagway, Alaska that had first pitched a tent here five years ago, up in the campsite area, and who had decided to come back, like me, to see if it was still just as beautiful as it used to be.
I’m no Ansel Adams or Edward Weston, and I have no idea if those two photographic giants ever visited this particuar spot in Big Sur. In their absence, I can make only a modest attempt to convey the beauty and the peacefulness of this beach. To truly appreciate it, you’ll have to come see it for yourself. On second though, please don’t; I’d like to come back again in another 40 years without finding it overrun by strangers…
Sand Dollar Beach, day 2 – 48

Note: for some bizarre reason, this photo was published as an illustration in an undated Boorah blg titled "It’s Pizza Time Now, Sunrise – 100%." A note on the blog page says "These pictures were retrieved from flickr for the search term ‘It’s Pizza Time Now Sunrise’." Go figure …
**************************************
By the second day of my 40th-anniversary visit to Sand Dollar Beach in Big Sur, it became evident that my photos, and this visit, were no longer about the beach and the scenery – but rather the people who now populate the place. It’s not as bad as Stonehenge, or the hill towns of Italy, or the tourist mobs surrounding Ayers’ Rock in Australia; and as I mentioned in the description of yesterday’s album, Sand Dollar Beach hasn’t (yet) been defaced by the presence of KFC or Pizza Hut, like the Sphinx in Cairo … but it’s no longer the pristine, breathtaking expanse that it was when I first stumbled upon it in 1969. C’est la vie…
I got up at 5 AM this morning, intending to leave my hotel room (cabin) at 6 AM to witness another sunrise on the beach. But when I opened the door to my room, I was met by fog so dense and so thick that I could barely see my hand in front of my face. That happens a lot along the coast here, and there’s nothing you can do about it. The fog remained heavy until noon, and was still visible at 4 PM; the last couple of photos in this album show the view down the coast, from the vantage point of my cabin at Lucia Lodge, some 300 feet above the ocean.
Because of the fog and mist on the beach all day, many of the photos in this album are shadowy and almost surreal; indeed, the effect is exaggerated by the fact that most of my shots were taken with a 300mm telephoto zoom lens, which compressed all the fog between me and my subject into a somewhat denser mass…
Aside from that, there was far less surfing than yesterday, and far less of a festive, summery, sunlit scene. But there was still enough of a crowd to make me realize that this is no longer an "off the beaten path" place. I can only wonder what it might be like 40 years from now …. among the signs of intruding civilzation were the park ranger, who strolled up and down the beach with a clipboard in hand; and a squadron of half a dozen fighter jets that roared overhead at a low altitude, presumably protecting us from attacking terrorists lurking in the mist offshore….
I didn’t stay for sunset today; the mist was so heavy that I wasn’t convinced that there would even be a pleasant sunset. But I enjoyed the time that I spent on the beach, and I appreciated the opporutnity to re-live the experience once again…

The seats are located at the edge of a 300-foot cliff that looks down on the water below; and the cabin behind the seats is the last of a row of 10 cabins where guests of the Lucia Lodge (located in the far background of the photo) can stay. The Pacific Coast Highway is visible in the background, heading up and off to the right …
Sand Dollar Beach is located about 7 miles further south…
