Only 6 people and 1 dog noted. Very sparse driftline with only a few pieces of small wood.

Most of the access trails to the beach have become impassable. Definitely keeps the crowds down...

South end Manzanita Beach
A mild and pleasant day on Manzanita’s expansive beach. Photo 1: Runners are backlit by hazy sunshine that accents the shimmering highlights of the wet sand and low waves. Photo 2: This lion’s mane jelly measured 7” across and washed up on the beach without its tentacles but otherwise intact. Photo 3: A tiny uncarved pumpkin at water’s edge brings recent Halloween decorations to mind.
