The Coast Near Esashi

The view northward from the park of the coastal road and a prominatory
The coast and a bit of beach to the north
Another view of the same
A more inland view the same direction
The rockier southern beach
A closer view of the point to the north
A marker in the park
The sea to the south
A closer view of the southern lighthouse
The southern coast
A few rocks in the surf
Seabirds on the Sea of Okhotsk
The point again
A view inland of the mountains
The Esashi monument
Some shells picked up from the beach near this park. There were tons of 'em there and I would've gotten more if it weren't the middle of a snowstorm.
Here's my favorite park in Esashi during wintertime... well, technically springtime
The park itself hasn't been shovelled clear yet, so I had to park a ways a way and hike through knee-high snow to get there
The snow melted in a nice cool pattern around this shiny monument
A nice snowy penninsula
And a shot of the mountains inland
And a last winter shot down the coast
The 45 Degree monument along the road to Esashi. There's one of these (though not as elaborate) just north of Salem.
