Centinela

Centinela
We went down to the sea this afternoon at Centinela. It was windy by the water; but sunny and warm. It was a nice, relaxing afternoon. There is just something about the sound of the water that sooths a persons soul. The last few times that we have been there the tide has been high. Today it was lower and we were able to walk on a rock shelf that is usually underwater. We do not bother watching the tide tables to decide when we will go to the sea, we just go when we feel like it.

A little video of the cove. Unfortunately, the wind makes more sound on the video than the water does.

Can you go swimming there it looks beautiful. The last time I was in the Pacific coast of Mexico I found the water very cold.

Hi Rusty. It is very beautiful there. Yes, you could swim there; although our landlord says that it is dangerous to swim there, we have seen people in the water. At this time of year the water is cold. People swim here from about March to mid November. In the summer the water is the temperature of your bathtub.
