South Beach...

No, we didn't head for the Miami Beach area... there is a South Beach here on San Juan Island.

First things first: before going south on the scoots, we ran into town to get a couple PowerBall tickets; the prize is around a gazillion dollars.  Somebody's gotta win, right?  Then, heading south...

Whales are reported north, moving south.  I suggested we stop at Eagle Cove before going to South Beach... just in case.  Nope.  But, it was a nice ride and pretty scenery, including these plants...

Nice views from the homes in this area, too...

Rolling again...

South Beach is just down the hill.  Nice views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic Mountains in the distance.  South Beach has parking and potty facilities...

We parked the scoots and walked to "the beach"...

For my South Padre Island folks, this is what passes for a beach here...

An unusually calm day today - people on stand-up paddleboards and kayaks...

Looking towards the Olympics...

An obligatory selfie...

Looking north...

Heading back to the bikes...

It had been warm enough on the way down that we didn't need coats.  The slight breeze coming off the water reminds you that the water temp here is still in the upper 40s.  We put jackets on to continue our ride...

Heading for our favorite view turn-out on the west side, we passed more bicycles and rental scooters; not always easy to see in the shade...

Some of the road construction is complete - you can tell by the freshly painted yellow center lines.  Some of the roads in this area aren't wide enough to have any kind of a bike lane... or even a white line, apparently.

One of my favorite road views: Haro Strait...

We got off the scoots at the turn-out and took in the view.  We both miss being able to look out the window and see water, even though our RV site is delightful.

Last of our days off.  Well, for this week.
