Getting ready at the campsite

Elephant Rock. Not sure how it got its name.

Exploring the caves. We went during very low tide giving us more opportunities.

A few mussels.

Kelp. Micah (taker of the pictures) has a waterproof case for his camera.

Jelly. No one important was stung.

Sort of looks like we went to an aquarium and took these pictures.

Yep...not much life in the ocean...
