Saturday Adventure: Halfmoon Bay to Soldiers Point

My usual hike was a bit shorter than I expected.  This hike was to Halfmoon bay, once a porch hotel for overseas high rollers which has been abandoned for years.  Despite the years of litigation, at least I can enjoy the beach, the hike, and the two beaches in that area, Halfmoon Bay and MillReef. The pictures tell the story.

Sunrise....good morning!


And shots of Soldier's Point.  The story goes that an very wealthy gentleman started to construct his home at the top of Soldier's Point and passed away before completion.  There was a complete lookout patio and remnants of a road and gate.
And back to Halfmoon Bay...the water is a little rough, but the group had a blast. 
 A friend and I walked over to MillReef, another exclusive area and back, adding to our little adventure.
