Jade Cove is reputed to have patches of purple sand and while looking for them I became fascinated by the different patterns the tide had left on the sand. We eventually did find some purple streaks. Here are the results! And then with additions  

Following Highway 1 north we arrived at Jade Cove. Off shore there are many small islands, whitened by guano and the way on to the beach is down a steep wooden staircase. Jade can be found on the beach, especially after storms and some of the rocks are serpentine and a beautiful green colour. There were some dogs running and chasing on the beach, which was very quiet. The weather remained overcast, cool and misty. I think this is normal for this area, even in the height of summer. Here are some more views of the beach
