There was lots and lots of talk and even a News 5 TV truck here at Pillar Point RV Park last weekend, predicting giant King Tide waves!   Well, while over three dozen surfers waited in the water, the really BIG waves never really came.   There were waves, however and everyone got a ride.



Everybody got in the act.  Take a closer look at who is behind the stand up paddle boarder...

THIS IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT PILLAR POINT RV PARK
Beautiful Weather, Friendly Campers, Gorgeous Sunsets


What a day, what a day, what a wonderful day Sunday was! (except the 49er loss)   Besides being a spectacularly beautiful day...perfect 68 degree temperature, sunny skies and a slight cool breeze, the marine animal kingdom kept us all very entertained.

Fishermen say if you want to know where the fish are, then watch the birds.  ...

Guests at Pillar Point RV Park have been watching the whales as they pass by outside of the harbor breakwater.   For the most part we just see the spouts and lately we've been seeing them almost every day.   At the same time, dolphins have been coming up close in the bay on a regular basis.    The weather has been warm and the ocean smooth, so it's been easier to see them all.  Here's a quick video I took ...

I've said it before, but you never know what's going to happen when you stay a Pillar Point RV Park.   A short walk along the bike path today brought a delightful surprise to all who witnessed it.   A dot.com company landed a big client and today, treated their employees by renting out the entire "Sam's Chowder House" restaurant.   

In case you don't know, the restaurant over looks the ocean and the Pillar Poin...

There's a pod of dolphins that make their presence known fairly often right off the jetty in front of Pillar Point RV Park.   Catching them on film is quite another thing because, you know, they don't exactly have a schedule and if they do, they haven't let us know....lol

Today was my lucky day and while it's not the world's greatest shot, at least I one good
enough to share to show you how close they come to the RV park.

Pillar Point RV Park is located smack dab in the middle of the surfing world.  Turn your head to the left, and you'll see "Surfer's Beach" where there's several dozen surfers in the water at any given time.  Turn your head right, and you can see Maverick's point and the surf shop of Jeff Clark, founder of the International Maverick's surf competition.    And guess what...they teach you how to surf.    ...

There was a school of something out in the ocean the day before yesterday, because the seagulls were sqawking and the pelicans were circling and diving every few minutes.  It was really quite a sight to see.    Those pelican bodies with the long beaks....they look like a dagger piercing the water and always seem to get the morsels they are looking for.
 


I watched them from in front of Pillar Point RV Park for a while, and then I took a walk over ...
