Well, there is not much to say about this destination as such, but it for sure is a year round destination, for all levels and ages, not to mention to stay in shape especially during the cold season, for those like me, who do not snowshoe or barely hike the mountains that time of the year. I hiked here in the last four month tree times. Back in November 2013, I did not go far, because it was extreme high tide and stormy. The waves were crashing like crazy against the spit, playing with the driftwood like it is some matchstick. In January this year it started out being a sunny day, and just shortly after I reached the lighthouse, fog moved in and the views to the Olympic Mountains disappeared. Interestingly the fog was only clinging over the Strait Of Juan the Fuca that day.

Today it was clouded all the way and drizzling, but not that bad, that I had to put on my rain jacket. Tide Table for Dungeness.
