I'm not convinced that Petroglyph Cove ever had petroglyphs. There are some reddish stains (which could indicate obscured pictographs), but there are all kinds of mineral stains on the overhang.

Rugged Point Cove viewed from the "inside." The tide was high, so we used our bungie cord anchor to keep us off of the beach.

This is the "surf" from the Pacific swell. I found a sand dollar, but being as it was Canadian, it was really only 78 cents.
