Davenport Beach

Davenport is a little "town" north of Santa Cruz. There is not a lot there. Beaches. Two restaurants. Two art galleries. A few houses. A lumber mill. Cows, strawberries, pumpkins. It is on Route 1, which is the coastal route and as you drive along this road the ocean is usually sparkling with sunlight. So far we've visited two beaches there. As far as I know they are the only publicly accessible beaches in Davenport. We've now been to both. I chose this beach because I read surfers bring their dogs their and leave them on the beach to play with each other while the surfers, well, surf. I only saw one surfer. He didn't have a dog. There were dogs there and some were off leash, and Kitty spent the better part of her day off leash too. Kitty also sprang a leak. A remarkable leak I wish I had gotten on film. At some point she drank the water; apparently not a good idea. Her little butt was just spraying a thin stream of "water". Have you ever filled a water balloon up only to realize there was a pin-sized hole in it that squirt you in the eye? Well picture that squirt from Kitty's little bottom. Poor Kitty. Eventually it stopped. But she put on quite a show for a while.
