The Outside Beach - Saturday

My uncle's cabin sit on a narrow strip of land with its back toward the sheltered waters of Kasitsna Bay and its front facing the wide open waters of lower Cook Inlet. This is the view looking northwest from McDonald Spit across the mouth of Kachemak Bay. The low bluff in the distance is where we live, about fifteen miles away on the far side of the Bay.



This beach gets unrestrained ocean wave-action and is much different in character than the inner beach.



Above the tide-line, we found traces of volcanic ash still distinct from the beach sand. It is the paler material on the slightly-darker sand.
