Nomad's Notes

We found a new beach location that would prove to be very private. Pomponio Beach is not often visited because there is only roadside parking and the couple of possible trails down to the beach can be difficult to hike depending on recent erosion. I don't remember seeing anyone other than our group the whole day. As mentioned before, the weather along the coast is unpredictable. It is rarely "hot" but mostly "warm enough" provided people keep active. The sun finally came out later in the day, also a usual pattern. This day was another attempt to establish a yearly "Bodyfest" beach event. Later I came to the conclusion that it would be better to do something inland where it is warm and easy to get to. Though, there is nothing that can replace the presence of the ocean and a vast stretch of sandy beach. No video was shot on this day.
