First sunny weekend in November. 10 of us camped at Cape Lookout State Park. Beautiful warm afternoon, cold night (below freezing). This weekend, low tide ~3:30pm, high ~8:45am.11/21 Saturday. Sunny. 9am meetup. Some delay, as usual. 11am at campground. Half closed, and the remaining half (C & D) is only 1/3 occupied. Yurts and cabins are open. Clean bathroom (2 total). The lady's side has 4 stalls, 2 sinks (cold water only), 3 hangers, a garbage can, paper towel, no soap. Each stall has a wooden stub inside as hanger. Shower room has warm water, 3 stalls. Many water spigots. Camp waste is only collected at the entrance in a big compressor and 4 recycle bins. $21/site, up to 2 cars and 8 person. We took 3 sites (5 cars, 10 tents) in D. No neighbors.
At 11:30am, we walked north along the wide beach. Sunny and unbelievably warm. I walked in Tshirt half of the time. Not enough time to walk all the way to the tip of the spit, we had lunch about 3 miles out, and turned back. 
At ~1.5 mile, the narrowest part of the spit, we cut across the dunes and vegetation to Netart Bay. Somewhat marshy. Calm and reflective water. I eventually got tired of walking on wet drift debris, cut back to the beach, however at a more difficult path, got many small scraches, as the bushes are thick and full of thorns. Nice to walk along the sunny beach, now much wider.
Back at camp, pitched tents. At around 4:30, almost everyone came out for the sunset. The temperature dropped quickly after. Ice formed on my tent, before it was even dark. My fellow campers brought out logs, and myriad of food and drink, and kept the bonfire going until after midnight. I sat on a bundle of log (to be burnt tomorrow morning) while others eased into their camp chairs. Fire kept us warm, and dried off our semi-damp shoes. I tried warm mulled wine - not sure if I like it . We have hearty drinkers among ourselves. Consumed 3 bottles of wine and some harder alcohol. Very cold at night.
11/22 Sunday, 7 of us hiked to the west most point of Cape Lookout. About 5 miles one way (first half on North Trail, 2nd half west on Cape Trail). There's a parking lot at the trailhead of Cape Trail, if you want a short hike. Not as muddy as I expected. 
At the western tip, where the trail ends, there's railing, as it dops precipitously a couple of hundred feet down to the waves. No view to the northern shore. Definitely a good place to spot migrating whales. Today, someone claimed to see whales. A month or two later would be better. The sun never totally broke out of the clouds. The sky is quite colorful at sunset, but we were already on our way back. Driving by the long Netart Bay at sunset is quite pretty.
My phone registered 26k steps on Saturday and 36k on Sunday, including walking 2 miles home from the hwy exit. I bought some greens and a $40 700W Ninja Nutri blender at Fred Meyer on my way. Made 3 cups of drinks the very evening. Super convenient.
