People enjoying the beach. Nothing of concern going on. NOTABLE WILDLIFE Saw some birds flying off-shore, too far away to identify. Around the beach I saw only ravens. DEAD BIRDS STRANDED FISH & INVERTS DRIFTLINE Shells  •  Animal casings  •  Kelp/Algae  •  Small rocks  •  Wood pieces  •  Land-based debris Beach was quite clean NEW DEVELOPMENT MODIFICATIONS NATURAL CHANGES COMMENTS During the summer visitors carved steps into the bluffs in a couple of places. I mentioned this to a ranger - he didn't seem too concerned. SUMMARY It was a lovely, warm day at Cape Lookout SP. There were rocks scattered over the sand - last week there weren't any. Assume it's because of stormy weather last week pulling rocks from cobble. The beach seems to have survived another summer of heavy use with minimal damage.
