Wish there would have been a sunny day. 6 days mostly cloudy. Wind is always expected so not a problem.

Beautiful campsite right on the beach. We’ve been doing this trip for almost 20 years with the same group of friends and it’s a tradition we adore. There’s something different, the conditions, the shifting of the dunes and what time the ponies come to visit
