Tillicum Beach was only a few miles from Cape Perpetua.  There were many interesting features to explore including the iconic Thor's Well.


The tide was less than optimum for the best Thor's Well action.  Even the low tide waves looked pretty rough in the hole, so I kept a respectable distance. 




The tide pools and the geologic formations were more than enough to keep our interest for a few hours. 





Exploring the rugged coastline sometimes required a little climbing. Not long after this obstacle, we were finally thwarted by a crevasse we were not willing to jump.  It was only 4 feet wide, but at least 6 to 8 feet down to the water and who knew how deep it was.  Oh, the edge was also covered with slippery moss.


We probably covered less than a half mile of the shoreline before we were turned around.  It felt more like five miles, but it was not long enough to bring the tide in, so we decided to come back another time.
