Report Details
Beautiful August day; I spotted a large piece of red "gelatin" that looked unusual; in my 30 years of walking this beach, this substance is always clear. I'm not even sure what it is. I'm speculating it's from jelly fish. . . (I'll attach a photo.)The exceptionally high sands are evidence of stronger than average winds. The rock cropping at the junction of mile 112 was all but covered. (I'll attach a photo of that, too.)
