23 REPORTS FOR MILE 236: Streets Mar 15, 2013 3:00 PM   Calm seas, clean beach, even a spot of sun!   MORE  Streets Mar 14, 2013 9:00 AM   Clean beach, pleasant walking conditions. Scarcity of birds.   MORE  Streets Oct 9, 2012 9:00 AM   Gorgeous morning walk. Two dead birds, one dead and decaying seal/sea lion, otherwise peaceful and warm for October.   MORE  Streets Aug 8, 2012 7:00 AM   Weather has been so calm and warm lots of people are using the beach; evidence of more than 20 campfire sites, all but one completely out (the other had one smoldering piece of wood which I pulled away and doused with wet sand). People are doing a good job of cleanup. I found two plastic bottles and two empty Pepsi cans plus a few kids' toys, and they were all at one site. Most obvious was all the balled up kelp and seaweed at driftline. Great gobs of it!   MORE    dead bird; small murre?    Description: lying on back; white underbelly and under wings; mottled white and black throat; black head with large downturned black beak; black toes with webbing (did not look closely, alas; photo shows possible webbing) Location: Mile 236 between Gleneden Beach State Park and Schoolhouse Creek Streets Jun 14, 2012 5:00 PM   Beach has been swept clean by high tides. Driftline hard to find in some spots. Big waves, nice day!    MORE  Streets May 10, 2012 9:00 AM   High tides last night reached the bluffs in some spots, and swept the lower beach clean. Still seeing tops of buried tree stumps and logs near Schoolhouse Creek. Good agate hunting!   MORE  Streets Mar 7, 2012 5:30 PM   A lot of sand appears to have washed out, particularly at the south end of Mile 236, where the enormous exposed slabs of clay create tidepools and numerous paths for the water running to the ocean. Primary path for Schoolhouse Creek is a deep canyon, with "waterfalls" of water pouring from these slabs. On the other side of the creek, the slabs give way to actual rock. Temperature was 45, but given the north wind, it felt like 35.   MORE  Streets Feb 16, 2012 3:00 PM   Lots of driftwood - some very large trees and stumps. Otherwise a very clean beach and quiet day. Vegetative collapse on bluff most visible on north end of my mile.   MORE  Streets Jan 15, 2012 12:00 PM   A perfect January day at the beach! Clouds part for bits of blue, occasional bursts of sun, occasional downpours of hail, and major piles of fluffy foam scuttle across the sand and quiver in jello-like fashion until they rip apart and scoot off to oblivion. No drama except for the weather!   MORE  Streets Nov 7, 2011 4:00 PM   Nothing of concern to report. A cool, but pleasant afternoon, which drew a surprising number of people to enjoy the beach. Someone constructed a flawless four-sided sand pyramid about 40" at its base, 30" high, with a perfect point at the top. Abandoned to the elements, of course.   MORE  Streets Sep 24, 2011 11:00 AM   This was the day before the storms, so it was relatively calm. The next day a piece of boat washed ashore, and on the 26th the rest of it came - the bottom of a hull and an outboard motor still attached. Otherwise, a fair number of large logs littered the beach, but it was very clean.   MORE  Streets Sep 12, 2011 8:00 AM   Quiet day. Evidence of a busy summer with nearly 20 bonfire sites, all pretty well cleaned up. Fine misty rain was a nice change from inland heat.   MORE  Streets Jun 8, 2011 5:30 PM   Schoolhouse Creek, adjacent to Wallace Street toward the south end of Mile 236, has cut a deep, curving canyon through the sand to the shoreline. Sand walls are perhaps 10 feet high. It seems like sand was dumped here, perhaps in preparation for riprap work? It has all been dispersed, but there are definitely two colors with different coarseness and there's a lot of it right at the mouth of that creek. Otherwise, no new news.   MORE  Streets Apr 24, 2011 4:00 PM   More people than usual on this beach, I suppose because it's Easter Sunday. Early rain turned to sun breaks, inviting people to shed their coats and enjoy the beach. Some driftwood has come ashore, but it's a pretty clean shoreline. North end of Coronado Shores shows preparation for bluff stabilization activity: piles of sand and medium-sized boulders.   MORE  Streets Jan 14, 2011 4:00 PM   One of those days when you fight your way south, and run north with the wind pushing all the way. Sand-swept beach clean as can be - no dead wildlife, and no rain for the last hour.   MORE  Streets Jun 17, 2010 4:00 PM   Pretty hard to find a day like this given such a wretched spring. Blue sky and sunshine, sparkling surf and clean sand. One would think the world was at peace.   MORE  Streets Feb 28, 2010 5:00 PM   I have been able to walk my mile about 7 times in January/February, thanks to minus low tides and mild weather. What I have seen is a great deal of erosion from one end of my mile to the other, much of it old riprap walls that have come apart, but north of Sijota near the junction of Miles 236 and 237 a massive land slide has put one house in major jeaopardy and affected at least two others. Devil’s Lake Rock began to build a road at the Sijota Street access January 29, and they continue to work on rebuilding the base of that cliff. I’ve been watching a public access via metal staircase on my Mile, and noted in January that the base of the stair was a jumble of large boulders, probably riprap collapsed from nearby walls. The staircase seemed unusable. But today the sand was flat and clean to the base of the stairs, and a couple came down with their dog to confirm it was not only usable, but quite stable. They have lived here 11 years, and said that the community repairs the stairs from time to time, that those boulders are still there, but that a high tide brought enough sand in to cover them. That would be, by my calculation, three to four feet of sand. I’m impressed. It was the debunking of a long-held belief that winter tides take sand away and summer brings it in. This was the day after the Tsunami alert. No evidence of any change in terms of debris (none) or sand shift. This beach has been so clean, it is remarkable that anyone could find a souvenir. January exposed agate beds, but even those have now been covered over.   MORE  Streets Nov 23, 2009 9:00 AM   Unusual amount of driftwood for this beach, due to storms and wind directions. Only notable difference to shoreline is erosion of fill material at the beach rescue access south of Laurel Street. Riprap was replaced three years ago when houses teetered on the edge, and access was rebuilt with large boulders. Boulders now must be traversed to move from land to shore, making it nearly impassable. Will check on this again in January.   MORE  Streets Sep 27, 2009 10:00 AM   Other than the questionable pickup cruising the beach, and the dead sea lion, it seemed to be people enjoying a pretty nice day on a pretty nice clean beach   MORE  Derskin Sep 22, 2008 8:00 AM   There were illegal beach drivers. Also, there is continued erosion at Worldmark and at Wayside State Park.   MORE  Derskin Jun 29, 2008 8:00 AM   At Wallace St you sometimes see vehicles cutting firewood on the beach, and there are almost always tire tracks on beach. There is no sign prohibiting anythng; there was a State sign telling beach rules, but it was knocked down by winter seas a few years ago. There are also people camping on the beach in the summer, and no sign prohibiting it. I've called State Police a dozen times over the past ten years, and they have gotten rid of the most obnoxious ones.   MORE  Derskin Dec 25, 2007 2:00 PM   The last winter storm with the high winds moved ten to fifteen feet of sand along the whole mile.   MORE  Derskin Jun 20, 2007 12:00 AM   Beautiful clean beach and very low tides.   MORE
