SUMMARY Partly cloudy, very nice Memorial Day. Over 60 people out and about with eight dogs, several of which were unleashed. Low tide had exposed some rocks on the beach. Wrack was minimal. Noticed some small styrofoam fragments for the first time in a long time. Bluff erosion has reached the foundation of one house and the fence of a vacant lot overlooking the beach just north of the Face Rock Wayside.
