My lovely wife Karen and I had the great fortune of living
here at Paradise Cove for 27 years. We lived in a small wooden
cottage hidden by the Cypress trees seen on the right, and for
a few years moved into an even smaller cottage right on the
cliff edge (seen below),before moving back into our lovely little
original home. In 1994, I moved my growing family to a larger
home one beach south in Three
Arch Bay, but I will always remember the idyllic beach cottage
days at Paradise Cove.
Youth is wasted on the young...
My home for many years on the cliffs of Paradise
Cove. Neighbors were nonexistent. I spent nearly all of my time
bodysurfing the now famous spectacular wave below. The beach
was private until the late 1970's so we had it nearly all to
ourselves.
Now, occasionally I walk down to watch the wave
and remember the wonderful years of youth, while the surfers
look at me like I'm some old inland geek crashing into their
"territory". If they only knew what they will never
know.
