Moonlight Beach Motel

Moonlight Beach Motel

10/10 Excellent
"This a nice little motel walking distance to the beach. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Rooms were neat and clean. Rooms were quite as well, did not hear much of other guests during our time there. Small kitchen is using for light meal prep. Initial room we checked into had two issues - a window at the back with no blinds and so hard for light sensative sleepers. Second the shower had no water pressure. The hotel staff moved us to a new room ( with a better view ) that addressed both those issues. "

There are many things in life that are just not worth the effort. However when you have days like this one in Southern California makes everything effortless. But when taking this image I wasn't even interested in taking a picture because it was cold and windy. When I saw this surfer run out into the weather conditions I found the image I was looking for!
