9 REPORTS FOR MILE 211: waterwitch Oct 5, 2012 11:00 AM   A few people walking, some with dogs. A beach ranger on an ATV was patrolling. Cliffs crumbling in several places, a large fissure near the end of the mile.   MORE    fissure    Location: 100_1086 crmbling cliffs 2    Location: 100_1081 jpg Date: Oct 5, 2012 12:00 AM entering the beach    Location: 100_1183 jpg Date: Oct 5, 2012 12:00 AM waterwitch Jul 25, 2012 11:30 AM   Low tide and clean beach. More visitors heading south than north from wayside. Considerable cliff erosion, but since this is my first report from mile 211 I will become more aware of any changes as I frequently walk the beach.   MORE    crumbling cliffs    Jacq&Mike Jul 7, 2011 11:30 AM   Five streams running off to the ocean. No visible drainpipes. Couple flocks of sandpiper-type birds, plus lots of gulls and crows.    MORE  Jacq&Mike Mar 28, 2011 2:00 PM   Spoke with a walker who is familiar with this beach over many years.She noticed more slides this spring than in previous years. She also said more sand covering up what would have been good agate areas.   MORE  Gibsjerry Sep 23, 2008 1:30 PM   My usual beach access trail at LawrenSea Oceanside Motel is now blocked by fence & locked gate. I used alternate beach access trail located about 1/4 mile south of Motel. Beach was very clean (last Sat was SOLV beach cleanup day). The beach was flat and sandy with no cobble or basalt or rooted cypress tree trunks visible as in past reports. Quite a bit of bluff erosion was noted, but this is normal for this beach mile.   MORE  Gibsjerry Mar 2, 2008 11:45 AM   Most people and cars at/on my mile seen in 14 years! All were "rock hunting". Much sand lost this winter(est. 2-5 ft.) Many Cypress tree roots exposed, as well as sections of wave-cut basalt & cobble. Beach was very clean. I picked up 1 half full "SOLV" bag left by someone else. Some new bluff erosion noted. Fantastic day to walk on beach! Sunny, with very slight NW cool breeze.   MORE    See Filename    Description: See Filename Location: Just south of Theil Creek Agate Hunters Ona Beach    Location: Just south of Thiel Creek Agate Hunting    Location: Just south of Thiel Creek Agate Hunting1    Location: Just south of Thiel Creek Wave Cut Basalt    Location: Just south of Thiel Creek Eons of up/down history    Location: Just south of Thiel Creek Gibsjerry Oct 22, 2007 2:15 PM   Flat sandy beach.
