California Coastal Records Project

I just discovered a very cool site: the California Coastal Records Project.

Pilot Gabrielle Adelman and her husband, photographer Kenneth Adelman, have photographed the entire California coastline, from Oregon to Mexico (excluding Vandenberg Air Force Base). They have processed and indexed over 30,000 individual photos, which you can search by location or simply "cruise" up and down the coast.

I very quickly located the beach and tidepools where we took the kids during our recent visit to Costa Noa. It's in the center of the picture, just to the south/right of where the trail leads down from the highway.

And here's the site of Julia's birthday party and the sandstone hill the kids had so much fun exploring.
