今日驅車三十多分鍾，想覓一處新路，不料發現人家網上推薦的地方，門口有個“No public trail access"的告示(門口停了兩輛車，我們停下來走了兩步，覺得不妥), 隻好隻身折回，去了其附近的沙灘。我和LD在陽光下，海風中，走了兩個多小時。
南加的海岸線很長，從南往北，一路沙灘海景，相同又各異。這個海灘第一次來。隻見一條長長的鐵軌筆直地傍海而臥，不時地載著旅客，載著貨物駛向遠方。我們漫步海灘，看海鳥覓食，看遊人衝浪，看孩童玩耍，看老人悠閑自得， 看美少女青春靚麗。走上橋墩，發現釣魚的人不少，一個個魚竿掛在橋杆上，人們耐心地等著魚兒上勾。我們一處處好奇地查看他們釣上些什麽魚。這時人群有點點騷動，原來一個十幾歲的小夥子釣到了隻sting ray, LD趕緊打開相機，拍了幾張。小夥子費了好大力將ray拉上來後，把魚線取出後，又把Ray放回海裏。可惜魚鉤沒能取出。不知那條Ray回到海裏，生死命運如何？
周末出去走走，總是有點收獲。看看這六七十歲的老人衝浪的認真勁，我們是不是很慚愧啊？
It is another normal Saturday, sunny and warm. We headed out in search of a new mountain trail but ended up on a beach. Like any beach in southern California, the blue sky here seamlessly connects the endless sea surface, on the shore of which are dotted with surfers and sails in the distance. "Waves alternately lap at the shore, and crash onto the sand or rocks. Seabirds seems to be darting and diving for their own amusements well as for food". The sea breeze is pristine and refreshing. The only noticeable difference for this beach is that it has a metrolink train station next to the shore, and of course a railroad leading afar to the end of our sight. We saw metrolink train and the other cargo one with "Kansas City Southern" whistled by.
We hiked on the trail that overlooks the beautiful ocean, adorned by the towering cliff. We stepped onto the pier, and watched people fishing for a while, and were fortunate enough to spot a sting ray being caught by a teenage boy. The boy immediately released it back to sea, but I don't know if the sting ray can still survive with the hook inside.
