Dungeness Spit, longest sand spit in North America

A moody day, light rain and we almost gave this a miss, so pleased we persevered. 

The 7 mile spit which juts north into the Strait of Juan de Fuca is a marvel of nature and reminded me of another spit which seems a lifetime ago, Farewell Spit on the South Island of New Zealand. The difference though was we could walk that sandy spit but Dungeness is too difficult to navigate, pebbles and a menacing tide.

The fascinating culmination of natural forces!

A wild and beautiful place to experience..
