Just basic sand movement and usual shells, drift wood, bird etc. We saw no dead wildlife or physical changes. Were several plastic bottle that we picked up along with some other "man-made" items. There were 5 in our group (daughter & grandsons) and two dogs. There were few other people especially as we moved farther south on the beach. Both people and dogs were enjoying a nice walk on the beach. Shoreline seemed normal with really nothing to report. Have included pictures of our time on Mile 143 OBSERVER AnnMissy EMAIL   •  REPORT PUBLISHED 3/28/12 4:13 PM PHOTOS 1 Spring Break Walk on the beach Description: Grandsons and daughter helped us walk our beach mile while they were visiting during spring break. We had our faithful helper dogs with us. Ours is Amos (picture included). He was tired out as we all were. Was a fun time.
