We went to Salisbury Beach after the winter storm on Monday January 17. It was brisk and cold with a strong breeze kicking up the waves. Salisbury Beach State Reservation was closed due to downed wires, so, we tried beach access #2. We started walking south towards the jetty, but, had the good fortunate to turn around at the right time and look north. We were surprised to find a rainbow extending from a cloud bank near North Hampton & Rye and the ocean.
Wave action as seen from beach access #2.
There were six to seven rows of waves breaking at any given time.
Looking north we caught a glimpse of rainbow over the ocean (in center)
Several other people stopped to take in this unusual sight.
